BURKE 101 is a fresh, new weekend program that puts you in touch with current and relevant scientific inquiry by bringing University of Washington and Burke research into the museum gallery with UW students as your interpreters. Each quarter a different college credit course is created in which students learn science content and teaching methods from faculty and graduate students. On weekends they bring changing, presentations, hands-on collections, images, and other media resources into the public galleries to give visitors the richest natural history museum experience possible. More than a behind-the-scenes look at the collections, this is your chance to learn about and discuss contemporary issues and questions such as biological evolution, conservation and land use, geological processes, and a menu of other timely topics.

Participate in fun activities and learn more about archaeology with UW students as your guides.

Gallery schedule: from 11-3 pm on the following days: 4/12, 4/19, 4/26, 4/27, 5/1, 5/3, 5/10, 5/17, 5/31, 6/2, 6/5
