How does the Dinosaur Giants Team program
work?
Students, teachers, or community service
coordinators contact Project Exploration
and request a Dinosaur Giants Team service
contract.
Once Project Exploration receives a completed
contract, students are scheduled for the
next training date. Students are responsible
for getting themselves to and from the training
and exhibit sites; Project Exploration provides
a Team Member handbook, a Team t-shirt and
snacks during the training.
7 hours - Training
Students are required to participate
in a 7-hour training program, which takes
place on site at the exhibit. The program
familiarizes participants with the story
of the 1997 expedition, the scientific importance
of the new dinosaurs, the stages of fossil
preparation and exhibit construction, and
the components of the exhibit. In addition,
students learn skills necessary for working
with the public and facilitating on the
floor of the exhibit.
