Not only did Mabel recruit young engineers to collaborate with her husband, Alexander Graham Bell, but she also financed many of their experiments.
Activities include:
- games to learn about Mabel Bell and other trailblazing Women in Science
- explore plants and pollinators in Mabel Bell's reconstructed gardens
- learn more about the science of hearing and sound
- build a human food web
- build and fly a kite (weather permitting!)
- participants' families can join for a free tour of the museum at the end of the day
- lunch is provided
This event is free although pre-registration is required.
