AUBURN — The Auburn Public Library, 49 Spring St., will host “HighTouch HighTech Science of Maine” Saturday Oct. 20, at 11 a.m., for a special STEM program, Gold Rush.
Kids will search for rocks and minerals in the crust layer of the earth’s surface, learning about prospectors and how they would “pan for gems.”
Then they will have their opportunity to pan for gems themselves. After the kids have found all their gems, they will become geologists and will complete several geological tests on their gem stones for identification. Dr Genia Sklute from Hightouch Hightech Science will present this program for kids ages five to 10.
Call the library at 207-333-6640 for more information.
