SUMMARY:May Update!
DESCRIPTION:DVEC Update: Planning Week and Exciting Changes Ahead\nAs we prepare for our busiest season\, the Disease Vector Education Center will be pausing programs from May 6–10 for a dedicated planning week. This time allows our team to develop new and engaging experiences designed to better serve our community. Don’t worry there will still be many fun experiences for you to enjoy when you visit! \nWe are working on:\n• New programs and interactive activities• Updated and improved educational experiences• Anticipating future adjustments to operational days and hours to better align with visitor needs• A refreshed lineup for Crazy Science• Brand new scavenger hunts tied to our new DVEC Passport System \nWe are also excited to share that ticks will be featured as our Vector of the Month in May in recognition of Lyme Disease Awareness Month\, helping bring awareness to prevention and disease vectors. \nOur full May calendar will be released later this week\, so stay tuned for all upcoming events and updates. \nPlease note: DVEC will be CLOSED May 24\, 2026 in observance of Memorial Day. \nWe look forward to sharing these new experiences and opportunities to learn. Thank you for your continued support as we grow and improve. \nLet’s continue to learn and protect our community together!

SUMMARY:May Upcoming Events
DESCRIPTION:Get ready for a month of investigations\, insect intel\, and scientific discovery at the Disease Vector Education Center. Beginning May 14 at 11:30 AM\, our brand-new Crazy Science series\, “Classified Critters\,” will take guests through the fascinating world of classification\, taxonomy\, and arthropod diversity through age-based mission levels. From Arthropods 101 to advanced entomology operations\, each session builds on the science of how we organize and identify living things\, with a special focus on insects\, mosquitoes\, and other disease vectors. \n  \nAlso happening this month:  \n• Classified Critters Missions available Wednesdays–Fridays following our 11:30 AM showings\, check the showtime dates for the lessons on this flyer. \n• Weekend Whodunits available Saturdays and Sundays\, where agents can solve a mysterious case file centered around that month’s featured disease vector \n• Feature Creature spotlight showings at 11:30 AM check the flyer for the dates. \n• Vector Cravings: Tick Edition featuring Lyme disease awareness \n  \nJoin us as we investigate the science behind the natural world and uncover how classification helps scientists better understand mosquitoes\, vectors\, and the incredible diversity of arthropods around us.

SUMMARY:CRAZY SCIENCE: Classified Critters
DESCRIPTION:CRAZY SCIENCE: Classified Critters\nCheck for dates below!\nThis May\, agents of all ages are invited to investigate the secret world of arthropods\, insects\, and scientific classification during our brand-new Crazy Science series at the Disease Vector Education Center. \nShowing at 11:30 AM\, each mission level is designed for a specific age group and builds deeper into the science of taxonomy\, nomenclature\, insect diversity\, and how scientists classify living organisms\, including mosquitoes and other disease vectors. \n\n5/14 — Egg: Bug Briefing \nAll Ages \nStart your training with Arthropods 101. Learn what makes an insect and insect\, discover the major arthropod groups\, and explore the basics of scientific classification. \n5/20 — Larva Instar 1: Invertebrate Intel \nGrades 1–2 \nYoung agents will uncover what invertebrates are and investigate how arthropods differ from animals with backbones. \n5/21 — Larva Instar 2: Insect Recon \nGrades 3–4 \nDiscover the defining traits of insects and compare them to spiders\, crustaceans\, centipedes\, and other arthropods. \n5/22 — Larva Instar 3: Operation Orders Decoder \nGrades 5–6 \nDecode the world of insect orders and explore the incredible diversity of insects scientists study around the globe. \n5/27 — Larva Instar 4: Taxonomy Files \nGrades 7–8 \nDive deeper into taxonomy\, scientific naming systems\, and how organisms are grouped and identified. \n5/28 — Pupa: Entomology Ops \nGrades 9–12 \nAdvanced agents will investigate phylogeny\, nomenclature\, classification systems\, and the science behind entomological research. \n\n\nEach Crazy Science session also includes interactive activities\, missions\, and classification challenges designed to turn guests into official critter investigators. \n\n\nJoin us this May as we crack the case of classified critters together.
