Do you know what you want to be when you grow up? Harper College is having a month-long event to give students of all ages interactive and fun learning opportunities. Maybe this will give you some ideas about what you’d like to study!

Each Wednesday in October, a new activity will be posted and is designed for 3rd-8th graders. Here are some of the things you could learn about: 

• Build a BristleBot
• Clouds in a Jar
• Make a Spooky Votive
• Predator vs. Prey

If you’re interested in participating, you can REGISTER HERE.

Kits will be available to pick up from the Mount Prospect Main Library and South Branch, among other locations. 

For now, you can do your own Nature Scavenger Hunt. When you go for a walk outside, can you find:

• Leaves from different kinds of trees? What kind of leaf is it? 
• Birds and other creatures? Can you make a sound like that animal? Can you move like that animal? 
• A seed from a plant? That could look like a white dandelion, a pine cone, an acorn, or a berry. 
• Insects? How does the insect get around (flying, crawling, jumping…)?
