From August 2018 through October 2018, the Woonsocket Harris Public Library hosted the Explore Earth Interactive Traveling Exhibit. As part of the exhibit, the library offered a variety of programs centered on earth science topics such as global ocean circulation, how water gets to your home, soil science, weather, and how changes in our local ecosystem impact the global environment.
Making S'mores with a Solar Oven was one of the most successful programs from the project, with high audience participation and minimal cost ($10.00).
