On Sunday, October 29 from 1-4 p.m., adults and children are invited to learn about ND-LEEF and a variety of environmental research happening at the University of Notre Dame. Faculty and graduate students will lead demonstrations and hands-on activities appealing to all ages, including:

The event will also include the opportunity to make dragon bubbles and create a special magic potion that will change colors right in front of your eyes!
