Eight Legged Encounters – Sunday with the Scientists

In February of 2013 I was commissioned by Dr. Eileen Hebets and the University of Nebraska–Lincoln's School of Biological Sciences to conceptualize, create and implement the graphics and art for her project Eight Legged Encounters, a Sunday with the Scientist event at UNL'S Morrill Hall. This project included a booklet, 24 trading cards, temporary tattoos, stamps, gift bags, t-shirts, large backdrops for each of the 11 educational stations, and a variety of web and printed promotional materials. Through social media and environmental design techniques this Sunday with the Scientist event broke attendance records and is now about to embark on national events. Continuing to gain momentum, ELE hosted a booth at the 2015 National Science Fair in Washington DC with an estimated 40,000 visitors. This educational event has also appeared in Denver Colorado, and Toledo Ohio
