Explore the wonders of the past and learn how it’s all applied to the present at March’s Science Saturday! Willow Bend and community partners will host hands-on activities, lessons, crafts, and fun for all ages.

No registration required—just come ready to learn, create, and have fun!

Science Saturday is an event held on the first Saturday of every month from 9:30am-11:30am. Each month is focused on a different theme, and each event offers fun and educational hands-on activities. Artists, scientists, and experts join us on occasion to provide extra special opportunities to learn and explore.  There is no need to RSVP, and the events are drop-in format.

Thanks to generous funding from Flagstaff365, Creative Flagstaff, APS, and the City of Flagstaff BBB Revenues, this event is free and open to the public.

Join us to celebrate the importance of pollinators! From bats to butterflies and bugs, you'll have a chance to help tell a visual story of some of our most important ecological allies.

Willow Bend is thrilled to be partnering with Red Herring Puppets of Tucson on a fun-filled, hands-on afternoon of puppet making. In this family-friendly workshop, participants will work with Willow Bend and Red Herring staff to build six large (2-4 feet) puppets on rods, along with pollinator and flower-themed cardboard masks to be used in a parade and exhibition later this year!

Activities may include using contact adhesive to glue parts together, applying a glue and paper mixture for color and stability, sewing, painting, and simple assembly. Red Herring Puppets will prepare puppet bases and materials in advance and will guide participants throughout the build, with support from Willow Bend staff.

Registration is required.
