Kidzu On The Go!

This summer our Kidzu staff is on the go. Check out one of the Makery fellows who is visiting the Outer Banks! The Outer Banks are one of the northernmost areas for sea turtles to nest. Christy and her family participated in the OBX turtle crawl and they located eggs and marked a nest #13. After the turtles make a nest it takes an average of 55 to 80 days for the eggs to hatch. Hopefully Christy will be able to make it back to the beach to see the turtles go back to the ocean! If you have a fun adventure you would like to share with Kidzu, add it in the comments below.
