SUMMARY:Beyond Our Horizon
DESCRIPTION:In this final event in our season\, DRI Science at the Springs departs from Earth and takes you on a journey to explore the beyond. Join our speakers on October 5 at the Springs Preserve as they share stories about astrobiology\, training NASA Astronauts in the Nevada desert at the Nevada National Security Site\, and how microbes deep within the subsurface of our planet tell us more about exploring life beyond Earth. \nDoors open at 6 p.m. Presentation begins at 6:30 p.m.\nBeer\, wine\, and small bites will be available for purchase from Aspire Coffee House. \nPurchase Tickets online through Springs Preserve\n$25 non-members\n$20 Springs Preserve value members\n$15 Springs Preserve donor members \nFeatured Speakers: \nDr. Brittany Kruger will introduce the topic astrobiology and describe techniques researchers use to learn more about life in extreme environments\, and how that information translates into looking for life on other planets. She will use examples from her own research in surface-based extreme environments on Earth including high pH springs and growing plants in simulated Martian soil. \nDr. Duane Moser will be talking about his research into deep\, subsurface biospheres around the world\, and what it tells us about naturally occurring\, radiation-driven ecosystems. While Dr. Moser’s research deals with microbes deep within the subsurface of earth\, his work provides a terrestrial analog for the exploration of life beyond on Earth. \nNick Downs\, a third generation geologist\, will join us to discuss the Nevada Space Proving Ground located within the Nevada National Security Site and how it is the nation’s most realistic full-scale testbed to prepare humans and equipment to return to the moon. The #NNSS has a deep legacy of supporting our nation’s space efforts\, and #NSPG is building on that heritage to support the future exploration of the Moon\, Mars\, and beyond. \nSponsored by: \n

SUMMARY:STEM Showcase for Educators: Back to School Blowout in Reno
DESCRIPTION:Training for Kindergarten through Fifth Grade Educators in Reno \nDRI is pleased to announce its “STEM Showcase for Educators: Back to School Blowout.”  The event includes training on DRI’s new Green Boxes\, which are Next Generation Science Standards and Amplify standards aligned\, free classroom supplies\, raffle prizes\, swag bags\, and a resource fair with local businesses and non-profit organizations. \nGreen Boxes are self-contained teaching kits that provide educators with two or more weeks of lesson plans along with all of the supplies necessary to conduct each activity. Every box uses active learning strategies to engage students in hands-on projects that foster critical thinking and problem-solving skills. These lessons are designed to enhance student literacy in various STEM subject areas\, from water conservation in the Desert Southwest to the environmental impact associated with natural resource extraction. Best of all\, this resource is offered FREE of cost to any formal or informal educator in Nevada! \nThis event is a collaboration between DRI’s Science Alive\, UNLV\, and the National Institute for the Advancement of Education. Register Today!

SUMMARY:Artown Photography Exhibit & Open House
DESCRIPTION:During Artown we are celebrating the winners of DRI’s annual photography competition and inviting the community to attend this free event for science enthusiasts of all ages. Our scientists and staff travel the globe conducting their research. Along their journeys\, they return with more than just data and samples – they capture striking snapshots of the places they explore\, from the desolate deserts of Nevada to the intricate depths of a microscope.  We will also be hosting an open house during this time with free lab tours on a first-come\, first-served basis and drone demonstration in the courtyard. Come and check out all of the great work that our scientists are doing. This event is made possible\, in part\, with support from the Edna B. and Bruno Benna Foundation. \n– STEM activities for kids: Learn to make an anemometer – an instrument designed to measure wind speed and pressure!  \n– Food trucks from Bite Me Food Truck Nv and Crepes & Craft  \n– Photography exhibit with the winners from the #DRI photo contest.  \n– Drone and robotics demonstrations!  \nThen stay for a special #ScienceDistilled at 7 p.m. with The Discovery.
