Location: UAF Campus

Learn about Alaska’s insects and their relatives - from our beautiful butterflies and dragonflies to our less-loved mosquitoes and spiders. Through field, forest and pond, under rocks, in flowers and everywhere else, we’ll collect (catch and release some, keep others to build a collection of preserved specimens campers can take home) and study these fascinating many-legged tiny animals.

Taught by Derek Sikes, UAMN Curator of Insects, and Melissa Sikes, Natural Resource Education Specialist at the Fairbanks Soil and Water Conservation District .

June 2-30, 2020
Zoom meetings on Wednesdays at 2 pm

Discover how archaeologists answer questions about the past from artifacts, features, and animal bones. Pre-recorded videos will be presented online to teach the fundamentals of archaeology and show what it takes to be a real-life archaeologist. Each week there will be a new video, activities to complete, and a Zoom session with a professional archaeologist for a group discussion.

Taught by Scott Shirar, UAMN Archaeology Collections Manager
