Children in Mongolia have had the chance to learn about dinosaurs, often for the first time, since we started hosting workshops in 2009. Workshops inspire creativity and curiosity while educating kids age 5-15 on scientific principles and Mongolia’s natural history heritage.
Since 2012, we have assisted the Mongolian and United States governments with the repatriation of over 30 fossil dinosaur specimens that were taken from Mongolia illegally.
The Moveable Museum was donated in 2013 by the American Museum of Natural History. During our workshop season, it visits locations across Mongolia so that children and curious adults can explore its modern, engaging dinosaur exhibits.
We offer advice and occasionally financial assistance to Mongolian students who choose paleontology as a course of study, and we offer training in fossil preparation and excavation to Mongolians who wish to help protect their local fossil heritage.
Launched in 2018, our Young Scientists Program seeks to inspire middle and high schoolers to study science and grow into a new generation of Mongolian paleontologists.
We hope to bring world class training to public school teachers through partnerships with educators worldwide and enhance local teachers’ professional skills in the field of sciences.
