Stop by the U-M Museum of Natural History this Sunday for a Scientist Spotlight featuring an interactive "mixed reality" activity! U-M School of Information students will be demonstrating an innovative app they've developed to teach coding by interacting with a virtual puppy.

While you're here, check out dozens of U-M scientists demonstrating their research in chemistry, mathematics, astronomy, archaeology, and more! We will also be hosting the Forsythe Young Scientists' Expo and Robotics Team.
