2009 Young Investigators Conference

The annual Young Investigators Conference, a hands-on public science event, will take place on Saturday, May 2, 2009, from 1– 4 pm at the Buffalo Zoo in Delaware Park. The conference is hosted by Science Firsthand, which offers opportunities for science inquiry through mentoring at out of school time programs throughout Buffalo.

The Science Firsthand kids and adults will share their investigations with event participants, engaging them in fun and educational discovery. Penn – Dixie site, Buffalo Audubon Society, 4-H and Buffalo Niagara Riverkeepers will also provide hands on exploration. Geo caching throughout the zoo and photomicrography (you’ll have to come to find out about that) will explore technology.

The Young Investigators Conference will be held in the Children’s Resource Center. Enter through the Gorilla House inside the zoo or from the ring road inside the park. Just look for the Science Firsthand banner. Bring the family – Science Firsthand is for all ages.
