The Science Mill in Johnson City is hosting Shark Week this summer, providing an excellent opportunity for anyone interested in learning more about sharks. From July 20-21 and July 23-28 (closed on July 22), visitors can participate in hands-on activities focused on STEM that will teach them about the ocean’s apex predator, their environmental impact, and careers related to studying and protecting sharks.
The museum has been open since 2015 and aims to provide STEM programs and interactive exhibits to people of all economic statuses and locations. During Shark Week, young scientists can learn about the ocean’s apex predator through shark dissections, a shark game show, special guest Matt “The Shark Guy” Marchant, sharks on shore, and color-changing squids.
Visitors can visit the museum from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., Tuesdays to Saturdays, and from noon to 5 p.m., Sundays. They can check the website or call in advance for daily activities or purchase tickets online. Walk-ins are also welcome.
