SUMMARY:Solution Studio
DESCRIPTION:Our summer maker space is back\, featuring activities and challenges inspired by the work of University of Minnesota researchers. In Solution Studio\, you can follow your curiosity and let your creativity loose. Play games\, build things\, and awaken your inner scientist. We provide the materials and tools. You get to explore\, create\, experiment\, and share! \nSolution Studio highlights games that let you collaborate\, compete\, and discover. Grab a friend or play solo! \n– Play science chase\, a board game about the scientific process!\n– Try the plant game. Will your plant survive\, thrive\, or wither?\n– Make a tool to help you grab a ping pong ball off a column of air!\n– Build a tower of tree species to represent a biodiverse forest that can stand up to threats!\n– And more! \nScientists use creativity every day. They use their imaginations to solve real challenges facing people and the planet. Researchers from the University of Minnesota’s Minneapolis St. Paul Long-Term Ecological Research program are learning how nature in cities is different from nature outside of cities. They ask how air\, water\, soil\, plants\, animals\, and even humans are impacted by and adapt to an urban environment – and what we can do to improve the ecological health of cities. In Solution Studio\, you get to solve challenges inspired by this cutting edge research! \nThis is a Weekly Recurring Event\nRuns from Jun 16\, 2026 to Aug 30\, 2026 and happens every:\nTuesdays: 10:00am – 4:00pm Timezone: Central Time (US & Canada)\nWednesdays: 10:00am – 4:00pm Timezone: Central Time (US & Canada)\nThursdays: 10:00am – 4:00pm Timezone: Central Time (US & Canada)\nFridays: 10:00am – 4:00pm Timezone: Central Time (US & Canada)\nSaturdays: 10:00am – 4:00pm Timezone: Central Time (US & Canada)\nSundays: 10:00am – 4:00pm Timezone: Central Time (US & Canada)

SUMMARY:Bell Expeditions | Bell Museum
DESCRIPTION:In an expedition-style set up outside of the museum\, a team of students and scientists will work together to demonstrate how scientific collections are created. Visitors will watch the team work together to process collected organisms and take various data\, preserve different types of samples\, and produce specimens for the Bell’s natural history collections. The Bell Museum is an active research institution utilized by scientists around the world! Visitors to natural history museums encounter biodiversity specimens that offer close-up views of nature. Their awe is often followed by questions about where and how specimens were obtained. Even more shocking to visitors is that the specimens on display are a small percentage of the holdings of a museum collection. The Bell aims to address some of these questions of why museums have specimens and how they are obtained\, preserved\, and used.

SUMMARY:Bell Expeditions | Bell Museum
DESCRIPTION:In an expedition-style set up outside of the museum\, a team of students and scientists will work together to demonstrate how scientific collections are created. Visitors will watch the team work together to process collected organisms and take various data\, preserve different types of samples\, and produce specimens for the Bell’s natural history collections. The Bell Museum is an active research institution utilized by scientists around the world! Visitors to natural history museums encounter biodiversity specimens that offer close-up views of nature. Their awe is often followed by questions about where and how specimens were obtained. Even more shocking to visitors is that the specimens on display are a small percentage of the holdings of a museum collection. The Bell aims to address some of these questions of why museums have specimens and how they are obtained\, preserved\, and used.

SUMMARY:Solution Studio
DESCRIPTION:Our summer maker space is back\, featuring activities and challenges inspired by the work of University of Minnesota researchers. In Solution Studio\, you can follow your curiosity and let your creativity loose. Play games\, build things\, and awaken your inner scientist. We provide the materials and tools. You get to explore\, create\, experiment\, and share! \nSolution Studio highlights games that let you collaborate\, compete\, and discover. Grab a friend or play solo! \n– Play science chase\, a board game about the scientific process!\n– Try the plant game. Will your plant survive\, thrive\, or wither?\n– Make a tool to help you grab a ping pong ball off a column of air!\n– Build a tower of tree species to represent a biodiverse forest that can stand up to threats!\n– And more! \nScientists use creativity every day. They use their imaginations to solve real challenges facing people and the planet. Researchers from the University of Minnesota’s Minneapolis St. Paul Long-Term Ecological Research program are learning how nature in cities is different from nature outside of cities. They ask how air\, water\, soil\, plants\, animals\, and even humans are impacted by and adapt to an urban environment – and what we can do to improve the ecological health of cities. In Solution Studio\, you get to solve challenges inspired by this cutting edge research! \nThis is a Weekly Recurring Event\nRuns from Jun 16\, 2026 to Aug 30\, 2026 and happens every:\nTuesdays: 10:00am – 4:00pm Timezone: Central Time (US & Canada)\nWednesdays: 10:00am – 4:00pm Timezone: Central Time (US & Canada)\nThursdays: 10:00am – 4:00pm Timezone: Central Time (US & Canada)\nFridays: 10:00am – 4:00pm Timezone: Central Time (US & Canada)\nSaturdays: 10:00am – 4:00pm Timezone: Central Time (US & Canada)\nSundays: 10:00am – 4:00pm Timezone: Central Time (US & Canada)
