On Saturday, Jan. 11, the community will have free access to MiSci between 10:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. to experience "Conserve This Colorful Planet," which aims to inspire guests to learn about water conservation colorfully and engagingly.

"We're thankful for the opportunity to partner with Axalta, Ducks Unlimited, and Six Rivers Conservancy," said Christian Greer, president and CEO of the Michigan Science Center. "Conserve This Colorful Planet will help teach our community about the importance of water conservation and our colorful planet. This is a terrific way to make science education more relevant and accessible to the general public."
