After last week's ASU Open Door kickoff, the fun continued Saturday at the West Valley campus with visitors learning about crime-scene forensics, ecosystems, the brain and more.

The free annual event welcomes the public onto each of Arizona State University's four metro Phoenix campuses to discover everything the university has to offer. Adults and children of all ages get the chance to peek inside labs, museums and classrooms and experience life as a Sun Devil.

Take a look at our gallery below.

The community can also check out activities at the two remaining campuses throughout the month of February. Register here.
