Students from areas schools will travel to the CAC’s auditorium to learn about how growth and migration of monarch butterflies, the metamorphosis of frogs, pollination of bluebonnets, and the amazing work of honeybees.
Lucas holds a degree in zoology, and underneath all the silliness is good, solid science education. “First and foremost,” he said, “I consider myself an environmental educator. I try to help kids realize how much we depend on the natural world.” Lucas has authored two children’s books, released three, award-winning CD’s, and hosts the award-winning DVD series “Animals Rock with Lucas Miller.”
“Miller is very likable, and the kids have a great time learning science topics through his electrifying stage performance,” comments Jane Boone, Marketing Director of the CAC.
