We'll start by making flower and moon themed crafts, then hear from NASA Ambassador Jen Jones discuss the upcoming Artemis missions.

City Nature Challenge 101: Everything You Need to Know to Join the Fun
Have you ever wanted to participate in science research? Do you like going out in nature and photographing the wildlife you see? Do you want Utah to be the WINNERS of an international event? If you answered yes to any of these questions, you're already a perfect person to help with the City Nature Challenge, an international event where community scientists around the globe compete to upload the most photographic evidence of their local flora and fauna to the iNaturalist app. We'll teach you how to use the app and how to get involved in the City Nature Challenge with hand-on practice right here at ONC. Bring your mobile devices, tablets, or laptops to get the most out of this class.
