STEAM on the Wing
Discover how birds of prey bring STEAM to life through soaring science, clever engineering, creative technology, expressive art, and mathematical mastery. In this interactive program, participants meet a live raptors and explore how adaptations like hollow bones, wing shapes, and talons reflect scientific principles and biological design. Learn how birds build nests, hunt, and fly using natural engineering solutions, and how scientists use tools and technology; from tracking devices to 3D-printed prosthetics, to support conservation. Unleash your creativity with raptor-inspired art, and investigate how birds use mathematics in migration, flight angles, and food webs. Through hands-on activities, close encounters, and outdoor discovery, you’ll see how nature innovates and how we can, too.
