To kick off season three of Mineral Monday and in celebration of our one-year anniversary (Woo Hoo!), we are excited to announce a special Mineral Monday Competition! We invite all school-aged viewers to submit their own video interpretation of a Mineral Monday episode about your favorite object, topic or fact related to earth science. Keck Museum curator and Mineral Monday host Garrett Barmore will review and judge the submissions. The individual or group with the best video will have their video shared with our audience, and will get the opportunity to co-host an episode of Mineral Monday with Garrett Barmore himself!
Watch this week's Mineral Monday episode with co-host Audrey, learn a bit about the mineral sulfur, and get your cameras ready! The submission deadline is April 15, 2019!
More about the Keck Museum and Mineral Monday
Located in the Mackay School of Mines building at the University of Nevada, Reno, the W.M. Keck Earth Science and Mineral Engineering Museum is open to the public Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. and the first Saturday of the month from 12 p.m. - 4 p.m.
The Keck Museum houses an outstanding collection of minerals, ores, fossil specimens, and photographs, in addition to mining related relics. The museum is also home to some of the spectacular Mackay Silver Collection, created by Tiffany & Co., for John Mackay and completed in 1878.
See you next Mineral Monday!
