Hi everyone!
The Disease Vector Education Center has an exciting lineup of events this March as we head into spring with hands-on science, creative challenges, and interactive discoveries about insects, ecosystems, and disease vectors. From exploring iridescent insect colors and water habitats to becoming vector detectives and learning how mosquitoes find their hosts, there is something for curious learners of all ages.
This month also marks a very special milestone for us. On March 26, we will celebrate the DVEC’s 2nd Anniversary with our special event Mission Vector Control. Join us for a mission-style experience where visitors can explore the center, solve challenges, and learn how mosquito control professionals protect public health in our community.
Programs include daily science sessions like Crazy Science, hands-on creative activities during Sunday Funday, and interactive discovery opportunities throughout the center.
We also have some exciting updates and improvements planned for the center, and additional announcements will be shared soon as we approach our anniversary. There are many awesome new things in the works, and we cannot wait to share them with you.
Stay tuned as we spotlight each event throughout the month, and tell us which one you are most excited to attend.

Crazy Science: Iridescent Wonders 🪲✨
Join us at the Disease Vector Education Center for this week’s Crazy Science as we explore the dazzling colors of the insect world. Many insects shine with brilliant colors not from pigments, but from structural coloration that bends and reflects light.
Discover how these amazing adaptations work and see real insect specimens up close.
