The Pollinator Habitat became interactive in August 2009.  A PA PACT Grant for Outdoor Science Classrooms made this unique project possible.

 

Press an eyespot on the butterfly box and you can listen to pollination information, songs, or poems. Harmony Habitat students are the voices of the butterfly box. This project was directed and designed by Ms. Aubrecht with Greg Kurk from the Magic Lantern, a Pgh. consultant company in the audiovisual arts.
