Join special guest Dr. Michael Bechtel, Associate Professor of Science Education at Wartburg College for a free hands-on educational program with live animals. Prior to teaching at Wartburg, Dr. Bechtel (Bec) was a high school science teacher for 20 years in Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Iowa. He has always incorporated exotic animals in his classrooms-- everything from poison dart frogs to African spur thigh tortoises to Malaysian seramas (miniature chickens) to creating his own breed of mice. He'll be joining us to share his love of animal ecology and introduce some of his amazing creatures during this engaging hands-on program.
