Nature Lab is a free summer program series for students entering grades 4–6. Presented in partnership with the Fargo-Moorhead Science Museum and supported in part by the North Dakota Natural Resources Trust, this hands-on series sparks curiosity and builds awareness of our region’s natural resources through engaging science and nature experiences.
Join us for one or more of these FREE classes. Each class requires separate registration, and space is limited. Registration is required to attend. Be sure to reserve your spot early.
