Science Kits will include all materials necessary for the following online programs: • Wed., March 10 Story Book Science - STEM Challenge – Writing in a Nature Journal Video premieres on Facebook at 10am on March 10 • Wed., March 24, Story Book Science - STEM Challenge – Modeling Prickly Cactus Roots Video premieres on Facebook at 10am on March 24 • Sat., March 20, 10am on Facebook: Pop Up Science – Bird Beaks!

Our staff will be following COVID-19 recommended protocols, including wearing masks. We ask that participants picking up kits also follow protocols, including wearing masks when picking up kits. Households can get up to 2 kits total. We have drive-up and walk-up options: Drive-up: Museum staff will direct you to pull your car up to a designated spot on Jayhawk Boulevard in front of the north entrance of the museum (closest to the KU Memorial Union). Then they’ll give you a kit containing all materials needed for the Story Book Science STEM Challenges on March 10 and 24, as well as materials for Pop Up Science – Bird Beaks! on March 20. Our program videos remain online too, so if you can't follow along on the day of the event, you can still do science with us when it's convenient for your young scientist! Walk-up: You can walk up to the museum to pick up a kit, too! Museum staff will direct you to the pick-up location while maintaining a 6-foot distance between you and others.

    Description: Win The Fight Against Your Excuses & Make Fitness A Priority! FREE 5-Day Mini Course Have you ever caught yourself saying... *I don't have time to workout. *I work crazy hours and that makes finding time to workout impossible. *My kids have activities going on every other night of the week, and I need to be there to support them. *My job is so stressful that I don't have any energy left when I get home to workout. *It's just too expensive to eat healthy these days. *I wouldn't know what to do at the gym even if I went. Do any of those statements sound familiar? Have you used any of them as an excuse to put off working out? We use these challenges as validation to ourselves that it is just not the right time to worry about our fitness right now.
