 | The Northwest Reno Library is proud to host the summer NASA Astro Camp series. The NASA Astro Camp program offers libraries the opportunity to partner with youth organizations to showcase authentic NASA experiences and present curriculum in alignment with Next Generation Science Standards.
Our summer series will be led by local student robotics team the Phoenixes. Having established the first NASA Astro Camp in Nevada in 2022, the Phoenixes have gone on to present classes throughout the community to students of all ages.
We invite you to join us for this exciting, fun and educational STEAM opportunity. Each lesson is unique, allowing for participation in some or all of the summer event series. Registration is required. |

THE HISTORY AND CULTURE OF THE WASHOE PEOPLES |
|

These presentations provide an overview of the history and culture of the Washoe Tribe, and will give you a greater understanding what the landscape, wildlife, and people who lived here were like in the past and how they have kept their way of life alive.
The Lake Tahoe Basin has been the center of the Washoe world, traditions, and creation stories. The Federal Government, tourism, and development during the last century drove the Washoe Tribe to the fringes of their aboriginal territory.
See all times and locations. |
