2024 Staycation | Build a Bug with Dr Shasta Henry

This July, as part of our Staycation school holiday program, Dr Shasta Henry (aka The Bug Doctor) will be running an engaging workshop for children aged 6 -12 years to share her passion for insects, extinction awareness and creativity!
Participants will learn the story of three insect species from the islands of Tasmania, Lord Howe and Hawaii, and their different levels of extinction. Choosing one of these species, participants will design and create their very own puppet, made out of recycled craft materials.
Workshop attendees will be encouraged to use their puppet to teach and motivate others to help conserve endangered animal species and will be welcome to take their creations home with them.
Dr Shasta Henry, the Bug Doctor, is a passionate adventurer, entomologist and educator. She has named beetles from the Amazon (and has one species named after her), guided white water rafts in Canada and once crocheted a hot air balloon!
