You are invited to IMET’s Open House on Saturday, May 2, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Baltimore’s Inner Harbor.

This family-friendly event is a chance to experience IMET’s research up close through hands-on science activities, conversations with scientists, and interactive demonstrations exploring marine science in the harbor and throughout the Chesapeake Bay. We hope you will join us and help spread the word within your networks.

Guests will also enjoy The Ocean Is Aware: A Suite For Creative Musicians by CIRCA-IMET Artist-in-Residence Matt Belzer. This performance explores how sea life interacts with its environment, their perception of time, and their awareness of humans and each other through jazz, Afro-Cuban music, and funk. 

Additional activities include hands-on experiences with research tools like microscopes and pipettes, opportunities to meet marine scientists, community partners, food trucks, a photo area, and, for the first time, an IMET raffle.
