Calling all paleontologists! Kids will work together to design and build a dinosaur skeleton using limited materials.

Oh no! A museum has lost all of its dinosaur skeletons just before a school field trip arrives- and they need your help fast! In this creative challenge, kids will step into the role of paleontologists and engineers to design and build a new dinosaur skeleton that meets the challenge.

Will your team build a towering giant or a speedy prehistoric predator? Put your creativity and teamwork to the test in this fun, hands-on STEM challenge and help save the museum’s dinosaur exhibit! 🦴🦖
