IAN at the HPL Open House

Saturday October 14th, IAN participated in the Horn Point Lab (HPL) Open House, the annual event where HPL invites the public to learn about the exciting research taking place on campus. The IAN booth consisted of two sections. In the first section, attendees got to play with symbols and diagrams from the IAN symbol library through sticker, coloring, and magnet activities. At the second section, IAN staff engaged attendees about the state of the Choptank River, using the latest edition of the Chesapeake Bay and Watershed Report Card to highlight the river's degradation and as a means to collect public opinions as to what is contributing to the Choptank's poor condition. Despite the rainy day, over 550 people came to the Open House to learn and explore what IAN and Horn Point at large have to offer.
