Become a Junior Scientist at the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point this year while learning about the secrets of the natural world and the universe around it.
The Junior Scientist program is co-sponsored by UW-Stevens Point's Museum of Natural History and Allen F. Blocher Planetarium. A variety of events and programs will be offered through May for youth ages 2 and up.
