In this workshop we will make dioramas inspired by the teachings of insects of Colorado, and you  will learn about their habitat and contributions to all life on earth. Let’s explore the interesting and enigmatic world of invertebrate insects through storytelling and by creating tiny dioramas to take with you. The program will be conducted in English and Spanish.
