STEM at the MMGM: Where Did All these Rocks Come From?

What are rocks made of? This engaging talk begins with playful guesses, then dives into the cosmic story of how the universe created the elements—step by step—that form minerals, rocks, and even life itself. From the Big Bang to the building blocks of existence (including you!), discover how minerals connect us to the stars—and to the possibility of life beyond Earth.

Tom Hoffelder, MMGM Docent and part time astronomer, will be speaking in the Discovery Gallery!
