The TWS Student Chapter at Washington State University hosted its first Family Science Saturday event this month where children of all ages — and their parents — came to learn about a variety of wildlife topics.
The chapter’s communications officer, Alexandra Kahler, put the event together with the Palouse Discovery and Science Center, a nonprofit organization whose purpose is to further the public’s knowledge about science and technology. Kahler volunteers for the organization and teaches children who visit the center about a new animal every week.
“A lot of Saturdays, [the Palouse Discovery and Science Center has] a Family Science Saturday event on specific topics,” Kahler said. “We, as a club, had never done anything like that before.” Together, the TWS chapter and the center organized the event focusing on wildlife science.
