The Institute of Marine and Environmental Technology (IMET) invites members of the UMB community to its Open House on May 2 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Colwell Center, 701 E. Pratt St., Baltimore 21202
This family-friendly event is a chance to experience IMET’s research up close through hands-on science activities, conversations with scientists, and interactive demonstrations exploring marine science in the harbor and throughout the Chesapeake Bay. We hope you will join us and help spread the word within your networks.
Guests also will enjoy “The Ocean Is Aware: A Suite For Creative Musicians” by CIRCA-IMET Artist-in-Residence Matt Belzer. This performance explores how sea life interacts with its environment, their perception of time, and their awareness of humans and each other through jazz, Afro-Cuban music, and funk.
Performances will take place at 11:30 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. in the auditorium.
Additional activities include hands-on experiences with research tools such as microscopes and pipettes, opportunities to meet marine scientists, community partners, food trucks (FishNet and Quinn’s Ice) , a photo area, and, for the first time, an IMET raffle.
