New this year, the Museum will also host a virtual event with budding anthropologist Anirudh Rao on April 18 at 12:30 p.m. The virtual event will feature this student from STEM School Highlands Ranch in Highlands Ranch, Colorado. At just 10 years old, Rao has spoken across the state and encourages others to learn more about the world around them. Prepare to be inspired as he showcases his learnings through artifacts from Egypt and beyond.
