#### Scott Sampson, Vice President of Research and Collections and Chief Curator, Denver Museum of Nature & Science

Connecting people, especially children, with nature is crucial to their health and the health of places they call home. In the age of Google and iPhones, however, finding a balance between technology and the natural world is increasingly difficult. In this interactive presentation, Scott Sampson—the host of the hit PBS KIDS television series, *Dinosaur Train*—will tap into the many secrets revealed in his new book, *How to Raise a Wild Child*, to offer inspirational advice. Dr. Scott will also offer engaging activities aimed at hooking kids on nature and helping grown-ups become highly successful nature mentors. It’s time to get outside and go wild!

Special Event and Book Signing.
