What secrets hide in the wild corners of the museum?

Young scientists will grab their explorer hats for Bio Blitz, a morning dedicated to discovering the flora and fauna that call the museum home.

From cultivated gardens to hidden wild spaces, participants will learn how scientists monitor biodiversity, then dive into real research using machine learning tools and Life Libraries to identify as many species as possible. Every discovery counts, they’ll even upload their findings to a live research database.

It’s hands-on science, real-world impact, and an adventure that turns curiosity into contribution.
