Today, we had the privilege of welcoming students from Cristo Rey Jesuit High School Milwaukee to Discovery World for an engaging career panel with our talented team! From education and aquarists to grants and beyond, our panel represented a wide range of professions that help bring a museum and aquarium to life. Each of us shared our unique journeys—our backgrounds, work experiences, and the paths that led us to where we are today. While our stories were different, one theme remained the same: we are a team of curious, lifelong learners who are passionate about Discovery World's mission. A huge thank you to Samantha Machalik Gallagher, Jack Zacher, Tim S., Juliana Zarate, Paul Fladten, Kristi Helmkamp, Sarah Kenlay, Tyler Torpy and Meghan Langmyer So.

While students across the area enjoyed a snow day this week, those who braved the cold and spent the day at Discovery World got an unexpected frosty treat! Our educators put on a pop-up "Cold" Science Show, packed with chilling experiments featuring icy raspberries you could crunch like candy, smashing flowers, and rock-solid oranges. Who is ready for their next "Aha" moment? 👀

This week, students from Brookfield Academy took a deep dive into water science with the incredible team from Xylem! They tested various water samples (including some straight from our aquarium) to measure pH levels, particulates, and more! 🧪🔍 Hands-on experiences like these help spark wonder and a passion for science. 🌍💙 Thank you to Xylem, Melissa Shaw and Matthew Walloch MWS, for joining us in our mission to inspire lifelong learners!
