SPECIAL EVENTS
An exhibit of this caliber has never been in a market
as small as Burlington, VT. We wanted to make the experience
as rich and deep as possible so guests will have the
maximum potential for learning. Our exhibit partner,
the UVM College of Medicine, has been educating physicians
and scientists for close to 200 years. The expert advisory
team from the College of Medicine has helped us create
three exciting programs making Our Body: The
Universe Within accessible to all levels of
learners.
Beyond these special events, there are group
participation options available with discount admissions
for ten or more people. This is an ideal way for a school
group to enjoy Our Body: The Universe Within.
We encourage educators to check out our group admission
rates here.
The Events
Family Scientist:
Wednesdays at 1:00pm from July 11 through August 15.
Did you know we all have a literal blind
spot because of the anatomy of our nervous system? Have
you ever wondered what our body does to our food after
we put it in our mouth? Come to ECHO's Family-Scientist
Labs this summer and discover all about our body-systems
in detail using experiments, dissections, lectures, hands-on
activities, and a culminating exhibit tour. Each Family-Scientist
lab focuses on a new body-system each week and runs 45
minutes to 1 hour.
The lab portion of the Family Scientist program takes
place in the University of Vermont Rubenstein Laboratory
which is adjacent to ECHO.
Participation is free with admission to the Our
Body: The Universe Within exhibit but space is
limited – so call us and sign up today for tickets to
the exhibit and to reserve your spot in the labs.
Because of our work in the lab we ask that at least one
adult attends the lab along with your young scientists.

ECHO guests will enjoy Our Body: The Universe Within
