[Lekooks] Grandchildren's University

[Harrahy, Elisabeth A]

Dear Friends,


I would like to let you know about an opportunity for grandparents and grandchildren to spend a couple of fun days together at a university.  University of Wisconsin- Whitewater is offering Grandchildren's University June 24-25.  Grandparents and grandchildren pick a "major" when they register.  Majors include Freshwater Biology (I am teaching this one), Archeology, Astronomy, Art Metals, or Paleontology.  Each "major" offers lots of hands-on activities.  For example, in mine, we will put on waders and look for macroinvertebrates in a stream, use microscopes, etc.  In the astronomy major, they will learn about the Milky Way and get to use the observatory at night.


Those who register have the option of staying on campus in a dorm room, or commuting.


For more information, please see the following website and let me know if you have any questions.  I've been teaching this for four years now and I can tell you the majority of the grandparents and grandchildren have returned more than once.  Fun stuff.
