Event Details
Forget the traditional classroom—the Dallas Arboretum is bringing the wonders of science and nature directly to you. During this one-hour STEM Stop, the library will transform into a hands-on laboratory where the natural world meets scientific discovery. Staff from the Dallas Arboretum will be on-site with a featured "Science Program," providing all the tools and expertise needed to spark curiosity.
Featured Program: Zooming Into Nature - Get a new perspective on plants! Families will use hand lenses and handheld microscopes to explore the hidden structures of houseplants. From tiny hairs and veins to stomata and cell walls, guests will observe how the parts of a plant help it grow and survive.
If you are enrolled in the SMART Summer Challenge, attending this program counts toward Discover. If you haven't signed up for SMART Summer yet, stop by the front desk to enroll.
