Host: The Whitehead Institute, MIT

Join natural science illustrator, and avid birder, Sandy McDermott on October 18 and 19, 2022 from 4:00 p.m.- 6:00 p.m. for Whitehead Institute and BioNook's popular online workshop, Birds on the Move: The Art of Migration. The two-part series designed for middle and high school students will explore the ecological significance of bird migration and how the art of nature illustration and observation is used as a tool to relay scientific information.

The workshop integrates science, writing, and drawing with the goal of helping students to observe and connect with the natural world immediately around them. The intention is for students to continue to explore the connection between science and art as part of their regular curricula and daily lives as learners and to build connections to their local environments. No drawing experience is necessary.

This FREE workshop is open to students in grades 7-12.*Students must attend both the October 18 and 19 sessions.
