🐾 MAVT had a blast at Critter Fest at the Science Museum of Minnesota! 🐾

We loved meeting so many curious kids (and adults!) and showing off what veterinary technicians do every day. From peeking at creepy crawlies under the microscope, to molding organs out of colorful clay and coloring anatomy drawings, to bandaging stuffed animals like pros—we had fun while sharing our passion for vet med!

A huge thank you to our volunteers for making learning so much fun—and to everyone who stopped by to say hello!

Events like Critter Fest help us educate the public about the critical work veterinary technicians do every day—and inspire the next generation of veterinary technicians! 🐾❤️🐾
