Rebuild a mystery dinosaur from fossil puzzle pieces! Use logic and teamwork to uncover your prehistoric species in this hands-on teen STEM challenge.

Put your paleontologist skills to the test! In this hands-on STEM program, teens will work individually or in teams to assemble a “mystery fossil” using printed dinosaur bone puzzle pieces. Using logic, observation, and a bit of prehistoric problem-solving, participants will reconstruct their ancient creature and identify what species they’ve unearthed. Along the way, they’ll learn how real paleontologists analyze fossils, compare bone structures, and piece together clues from the past. Perfect for dino fans and future scientists alike, this challenge blends science, strategy, and a little Jurassic fun.
