Have you ever wondered how birds build their nests? Stop by Naturespace to explore different ways birds build their nests and then try building your own. Once you build your own nest, we will test it to see if it is structurally stable against a fall.

Will your nest be as successful as a bird's nests? Let us find out together! 

Attention all players! Join ASU Library's Naturespace for the Octopus games and a chance to win prizes by playing a collection of games inspired by the infamous Squid Games series.

To find out what these games are about, come to Naturespace to test your ability and luck with Nature with the second of three games.

Join ASU Library's Naturespace at Hayden Library for a discussion about the different difficulties that we face on hiking trails.

Explore with us the hiking trails in the Arizona Sonoran Desert.

Assyrians from Persia (Iran) to the United States, 1887-1923: Assyrian Education, American Missionaries and the Search for a Home

Assyrians are the last Aramaic-speaking group indigenous to a homeland between Iraq, Turkey, Syria and Iran. Their communities were transformed by missionary education beginning in the 19th century; but documenting this history through Assyrian voices has proven elusive in the wake of their genocide and displacement during World War I. 

Have you ever wondered about a plant or animal that you passed by while walking on a trail in the valley? Join ASU Library's Naturespace at Hayden Library in a discussion about what lives in the Sonoran Desert and why the Sonoran is one of the most diverse deserts in the world. We will learn about plants, reptiles and critters that you might see on the trails in the Valley of the Sun.

You may know how a typical butterfly wing looks, but would you recognize it magnified by 100 times its normal size? Drop in to ASU Library's Naturepace 311E on the third floor of Hayden Library for a fun microscope guessing game to find out! View specimens through the microscope and test your knowledge of the microscopic level. Microscopic structures can tell us much about how organisms interact with their environments. You’ll be amazed by nature’s hidden structures!
