At 1PM and again at 3PM<\/strong>, we\u2019re honored to host Dr. Dana Yoerger, a Senior Scientist at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution and a pioneer in marine robotics. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dr. Yoerger\u2019s current research focuses on Mesobot<\/a>, a cutting-edge underwater robot designed to explore the midwater regions of the ocean. Mesobot\u2019s mission is to track creatures like zooplankton, which play a crucial role in the global carbon cycle. Attendees will have the unique opportunity to meet Dr. Yoerger and take a behind-the-scenes tour of our ocean-inspired exhibition.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Throughout the day, guests can participate in an XR scavenger hunt<\/strong>, accessible through the ARTECHOUSE app, allowing you to explore the exhibit in a whole new interactive way. Other fun activities include coloring stations<\/strong> and the chance to collect cool underwater stickers<\/strong>. Be sure to stop by the gift shop for exclusive merchandise deals and specials available only to Family Day attendees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During this event, Michelle will offer behind-the-scenes insights into how ocean research is conducted and share her personal experiences at sea. It\u2019s a unique opportunity to learn about the fascinating process of scientific exploration and the creation of her book.
