How to Go Birding in Minnesota

It was a few months into the pandemic when I realized I had never looked at a Blue Jay.

Having grown up in the Midwest, I had seen them, of course, but I had never stopped to really look. And here one was, bopping around my front yard.

“I wonder what his story is,” I thought. With phone in hand, as it always was in those early days of quarantine, I typed “Blue Jay.”

Tech Fest

Crack open old electronics, use candy to learn about biomedical technology, explore squishy, slimy, and cold substances, and more. It’s all part of the fun at The Works Museum’s annual Tech Fest event. With dozens of hands-on activities and demos, Tech Fest lets families learn more about what engineering is and see how it’s everywhere around us.
