Steamworks for Kids- STEM Camps

Dino Dig and Fossil Hunt- Explore ideas and methods of Archeology, Paleontology, and Geology and excavate the simulated bones of a model dinosaur! Assemble the fossil from your own “dig” to complete a 3-dimensional model of a dinosaur to take home. Investigate geologic time and fossil charts to compare living things then and now, and identify 20-million-year-old shark teeth and other fossils. See, hold, and identify items from our rock and mineral collections, and design your very own dinosaurs based on what we observe from our exploration.

Build the fun into your creations either from directions or your own imagination.
