Course Description

Target Audience: Adults; Youth 8- 17 years of age accompanied by a registered adult. All participating individuals, regardless of age must be registered for the program.

Description: Step into the intersection of science and art! Upon arriving at Pocosin Arts, participants will learn about oyster reefs from CSI staff in a short, interactive lesson highlighting their ecosystem benefits and the critters that call them home. The lesson will also include time to view live oysters under a microscope! Following a brief break for lunch, Pocosin Arts will take the lead, and participants will create their own oyster reef-inspired, metal cast sculptural objects or pendants as a tangible reminder of the day’s science lesson.

Other Logistics: Transportation to/ from Pocosin Arts will be provided with CSI as the start and end point. We will meet at CSI at 10 AM and return by 4 PM. Participants should bring a bagged lunch and water bottle or plan to purchase lunch in downtown Columbia. Participant attire should include comfortable clothes that can get dirty and closed-toe footwear.
