Event Details

Step into the paws of real animal doctors to explore careers in the veterinary field! Participants will explore what it takes to be a veterinarian, dive into the world of animal care, and tackle real-world challenges--like designing and building custom pet wheelchairs! Through hands-on activities, participants will use creativity, critical thinking, and teamwork to help animals in need. It's the perfect mix of science, compassion, and innovation!

This is an in-person program.
