Mark Earth Day weekend with an experience that puts action and impact at the center.
Inspired by this year’s global Earth Day event theme, “Our Power, Our Planet”, Frost Science’s annual Earth Day celebration brings together scientists, universities, and community organizations for hands-on activities that explore the forces shaping our planet and the choices shaping its future, plus a special performance by the inspiring Cateura Recycled Orchestra. Learn how innovation, collaboration, and individual action all contribute to protecting Earth, and discover the power we each have to make a difference!
