SUMMARY:Science Saturday: "The Schuylkill River & You!"
DESCRIPTION:Discover the many ways we are connected to the Schuylkill River\, and how we can protect these waters from the harmful effects of water pollution. \nRivers provide drinking water and a habitat for wildlife. Join us at the river’s edge as we explore our past and present relationship with the Schuylkill River in particular and our environmental impact. Activities include: \n\n“Fishing Around” – Survey the number of fish and species in your “river” to help determine how polluted it is.\n“Where Does the Water Go?” – Follow the journey of water from the river\, to our treatment plants\, and to your home!\n“Your Impact on the Schuylkill” – Learn how to reduce your carbon footprint by reducing the amount of trash you produce. Make the pledge to protect our river!

SUMMARY:Choose Your Own Adventure
DESCRIPTION:Do you ever look back at key moments in history and think\, “I would’ve made a better choice”? We’ll test that assumption using a real-world scenario with local roots. \nPhiladelphia\, 1896: Typhoid fever has been running rampant in the city. The last few decades have seen nearly 16\,000 deaths from the terrible disease. Health professionals say polluted water is to blame\, but anticontagionists contend the water is pure and safe. \nAdd to that the manufacturing industries that have brought about a near environmental catastrophe by draining their waste into Philadelphia’s waterways\, and you have everything you need for a lively debate about how to make the city’s water safe. But what’s the best solution? Should the city build an expensive filtration plant or invest in a more cost-effective aqueduct system? \nJoin the Chemical Heritage Foundation for an after-hours gaming adventure where you’ll get to step into someone else’s shoes\, and—using your wits\, luck\, and all the best information available to you at that moment in history—see where your choices land you! \nAfterward\, toast to your success (or failure)\, and learn more about the history of Philadelphia’s waterways with representatives from the Fairmount Water Works. \nTickets for this event are $10 per person\, and registration is required. \nFor more information about this event\, contact Alexis Pedrick at 215.873.8293 or apedrick@sciencehistory.org. \nThis program is presented in partnership with the Fairmount Water Works\, as part of the upcoming Grid and Flow exhibition.

SUMMARY:Art in the Open 2018
DESCRIPTION:Art in the Open (AiO) is a biennial citywide event that celebrates artists\, their inspirations for creating art\, and their relationships with the urban environment. Art in the Open debuted in June 2010\, bringing a jury-selected group of artists to the Schuylkill Banks – from the historic Fairmount Water Works to South Street – to inspire new ways of seeing the river and the city it runs through. Every other year\, a new group of artists is chosen for a three day event\, creating new works of art outside\, in a creative process open to everyone. \nThe public is encouraged to participate in Art in the Open by visiting often during the three-day event\, to see the works of art evolve and talk with the artists about their creative process. By actively engaging with AiO\, you become part of that process – shifting ideas of the art audience\, and as part of the environment the artists are considering\, influencing how the art take shape. Artists’ working times will vary with their project’s particular needs; most activity takes place between 9 am and 5 pm. \nPartnering civic and cultural organizations throughout Philadelphia also offer extensive opportunities for public engagement with the event\, showcasing the vibrant community of working artists\, galleries and institutions that make Philadelphia a major Urban Art Center\, and its two rivers: waterways which continue to inspire creative response and also serve as an ecologically critical lifeline for its residents. \n
