SUMMARY:Reid Park Zoo: Sean Kenney’s Nature Pop!
DESCRIPTION:Part art. Part engineering. Totally amazing!\nAdd a pop of wonder and a pinch of nostalgia to your spring with Sean Kenney’s Nature Pop! Marvel at over 40 wildly creative sculptures made entirely of LEGO® bricks at this exhibition\, included with Zoo admission and free for Zoo members from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. daily. \nProduced by Imagine Exhibitions\, Nature POP! Made with LEGO® bricks showcases 40 brilliantly colored and amazingly created sculptures crafted exclusively with LEGO® pieces — over 800\,000 bricks to be exact! As guests wind their way through the Zoo’s scenic pathways they will encounter playful\, gravity defying masterpieces\, including a towering 7-foot polar bear mother and her cubs\, a prancing fox\, a majestic lion standing on alert\, and intricately detailed dragonfly with light filtering through its outstretched wings. \nSean Kenney\, who has been creating with LEGO bricks for over 20 years was also a former judge on the show “LEGO® Masters.” Sean’s playful works invite guests to explore how everything in nature is also interconnected in fresh\, fun\, and unexpected ways.

SUMMARY:The University of Arizona: Richard F. Caris Mirror Lab Tour
DESCRIPTION:Explore the cutting-edge of astronomical innovation on this 90-minute guided tour of the Richard F. Caris Mirror Lab at the University of Arizona. Learn how pioneering engineering\, optical science\, and precision manufacturing come together to create the world’s largest and most advanced telescope mirrors—each 8.4 meters (27 feet) in diameter. \nLocated beneath the U of A’s football stadium\, the Mirror Lab is the birthplace of mirrors for the Giant Magellan Telescope\, a revolutionary new instrument with a 25-meter primary mirror composed of seven of our 8.4-meter segments. This next generation of telescopes will transform astronomy—probing the early universe\, revealing the formation of the first stars\, and potentially detecting signs of life on distant exoplanets. \nThe tour begins at the historic Steward Observatory\, U of A’s first research department\, established in 1917. After an introductory presentation in our iconic white-brick dome\, we’ll walk to the Mirror Lab for an up-close look at the unique processes involved—from melting glass to precision polishing and optical testing. \nJoin us and discover how the University of Arizona is shaping the future of space exploration and astronomical discovery.

SUMMARY:Central Arizona Conservation Alliance: Community Science Monitoring of Urban Saguaro Health: The Saguaro Monitoring Program within the Desert Botanical Garden’s Saguaro Initiatives
DESCRIPTION:The Saguaro Census\, organized by the Desert Botanical Garden\, provides an important snapshot of saguaro distribution across the Phoenix Valley. \nHowever\, long-term monitoring is essential to strengthen these data and better understand changes in plant health and survival over time. To address this need\, the Saguaro Monitoring Program was developed as a student- and volunteer-led initiative in which community members are assigned a plot of approximately 20 saguaros that they visit regularly to document plant health and condition. As the project completes its first year of surveys\, results from the initial monitoring effort will be presented\, along with a discussion of the benefits and challenges of using community science to monitor urban plant populations. \n  \nCAZCA is dedicated to hosting inclusive\, accessible events so all participants can engage in and enjoy the program. Please email us with your accessibility needs at cazca@dbg.org.
