Episode Description

The University of Oregon Museum of Natural and Cultural History hits the road in the summers. It offers hands-on learning through its Oregon Rocks! program, which teaches kids and families about geology. The organization travels throughout the state, reaching places like Portland, Pendleton and Paisley to bring science discovery to Oregon communities of all sizes. We listen back to a conversation with Mia Jackson, the education manager at the museum, who joins us with details about the program and why the museum wants to focus on statewide outreach.
