My Project

As a part of our STEM education initiative at our school, we would like to add an interactive, hands-on fossil dig near our outdoor classroom. Our students love to be outside and learn about the world around them.

This project's goal is to provide fossils, sharks teeth, and tools to allow students to dig up, identify and research.

This project would be part of our outdoor classroom and will provide our students with a unique experience that will also encourage them to look into the STEM career as an archeologist through discovery.
