"Through the Ages" Family Workshop | What’s happening in Ann Arbor / Detroit

"Through the Ages" Family Workshop


*The event has already taken place on this date: Sun, 03/13/2016
Time is something we constantly try to measure and track as it dictates our day to day schedule and allows us to order all the events of the past and future. Still, our perceptions of time can be unreliable when trying to comprehend exactly how long an eon is or how short a nanosecond. Join the U-M Museum of Natural History as we explore the fun and unique ways to look at and measure time!

Please help us keep this calendar up to date! If this activity is sold out, canceled, or otherwise needs alteration, email mindy@kidsoutandabout.com so we can update it immediately. If you have a question about the activity itself, please contact the organization administrator listed below.
Workshop 1: Through the Ages 
  • Zoom through vast stretches of history to learn about large-scale time.  Starting with the Big Bang Theory, participants will venture into topics such as evolution and the development of human cultures in this “big history” workshop.
Workshop 2: In the Blink of an Eye
  • Do you know what a nanosecond is? Have you ever held one?  In this workshop, participants will explore unique ways to measure time and learn what can happen in the blink of an eye.
Join us for Discovery Day on Saturday, March 19 at the U-M Museum of Natural History
