The program begins at 1 p.m. and is open to students in fourth grade and older. In partnership with Confluence Health and Wenatchee Valley Medical Group, participants will take part in a guided pig heart dissection led by local medical professionals.
Students will step into the role of surgeons during the lab, with trained healthcare staff on hand to guide the dissection and assist as “nurses” throughout the experience.
The program is designed to give students a rare opportunity to engage directly with real-world science while learning from professionals working in the medical field.
Organizers say the interactive format helps spark curiosity and interest in science, technology, engineering, and medical careers.
The cost to participate is $55 for museum members and $65 for non-members. Space is limited to 40 students, and advance registration is required through the museum’s website.
