About this event

Ancient civilizations relied on astronomy, engineering, and medicine to explain the world around them, just as we do today. Learn how they navigated the seas, created calendars, and planted their crops by observing the movement of the sun, moon, and stars. Explore ancient engineering and learn about medicinal practices that influence us today. Make a votive, create your own constellation myth, and participate in a planting activity. *This is the same session offered during Week 2
