Medicare 101 Workshop

Are you eligible for Medicare and confused about options for Medicare coverage? Are you still working with employer coverage and wondering if you should sign up for Medicare or not? Are you or a loved one having a hard time affording your Medicare costs?

Fingerprinting

Have you notice when you touch something, it leaves a mark? Especially on a shiny surface, like a phone screen or tablet device? Or when you use tape? This is a fingerprint! Each print is unique, not even identical twins share the same fingerprints.

In this activity we are exploring fingerprints, and with a balloon with ink we’ll magnify our prints.
