Students learned "herbarium standards" (proper care for a collection of preserved plant specimens) and techniques to preserve plant specimens while researching and writing about traditional uses of plants for dietary, medicinal, and utilitarian purposes. They also learned about different games played by Kumeyaay/Diegueño People: some for fun and some to teach young people important skills for life. Enter Virtual Exhibit
