The University of Alaska Museum of the North will offer this month's installment of the ARTSci Teen Studio program on Saturday, March 23.

The monthly Saturday program runs from 2-4 p.m. Each month features a different theme. This month's theme will focus on cyanotypes. Participants will discover how early photographic images for scientific study were created and make their own UV light-activated pictures using a variety of materials.
