About your facilitator: Kay L.
Kay is a passionate science communicator who has worked with invertebrates, whales, turtles and dinosaurs (living and in fossil form) since 2016. Having the opportunity to get outside and explore nature with budding scientists is one of her favourite ways to feel connected to both her communities and local ecosystems.
Kay has a penchant for flipping over rocks and picking up the misunderstood creatures to inspire curiosity rather than fear, and can be found working in science education with all ages through Build-A-Brain.
