Event Details
In-Person Youth Program, ages 13-18
Advance registration required.
Throughout history, bugs have played a role in cuisines around the world. Teens ages 13–18 are invited to explore how insects add flavor, protein, and texture to meals. Guided by guest speaker and insect enthusiast Javier Marin, participants will visit the Harvard Museum of Natural History galleries to learn about different species and their habitats. An insect snack will be available for those brave enough to try.
Teen Saturdays Workshops are offered bilingually in Spanish and English. They are designed to build community and improve the museum experience for multicultural teens.
$10 fee includes free admission to all HMSC museums immediately following the workshop.
Teens will receive a free admission pass (worth $15) for a return visit if they attend one of the two sessions.
