RACE: Group Experiences
Scientifically, no one gene, or any set of genes, can support the idea of race. So why is it such a big part of our lives, and why is it so hard to talk about?
Take a cultural and scientific look at race throughout history with facilitated learning opportunities from the Science Museum of Minnesota. Programming is available for groups of adults, as well as groups of young people ages 12–25. During this onsite programming, your group can expect to focus on diversity, equity, and inclusion topics through in-depth conversations and relationship-building exercises.

Welcome by Science Museum staff member and high-level overview of the Race Are We So Different? exhibition
