Registration for the LEGO RISE Program is now open!&nbsp; RISE is Robotics, Innovation, Skills, and Engineering, and is an introductory program for K-4th grade students.&nbsp; Participants will work as a team to use LEGOs to learn basic robotics and coding concepts, and will explore the many fields of engineering.&nbsp; The program is a great way to give your child early exposure to engineering, robotics, and life skills!

The program runs from January 18th to April 30th, with a May 8th season festival.&nbsp; Each program meets one day per week, and we have programs running in multiple towns across Tolland County. Each program is FREE and open to anyone, regardless of school or town.

Who gives a hoot? You will! When the sun goes down in Connecticut, a different kind of hunter wakes up. Silent wings, razor-sharp talons, and eyes built for the dark make owls some of the most remarkable creatures in our own backyards.&nbsp;Join us for an up-close look at the owls that share our woods and fields. You’ll discover how they swivel their heads nearly all the way around, glide without a sound, and hear a mouse’s heartbeat beneath the leaves. Then see what a real owl pellet looks like and play wildlife detective. What’s inside? Tiny bones, fur, and clues to what this night hunter had for dinner. You might just piece together a whole skeleton. Finally, learn how you can help owls thrive right here at home. Owl habitat kits will be available for purchase, so you can take the adventure back to your own yard. Help owls do their expert rodent control!&nbsp;&nbsp; Admission is free, donations of $20+ are encouraged. Please pre-register.&nbsp; Fun for the whole family! Best for curious minds from elementary school through adulthood. Co-presented by the CT Audubon Society
