Dinosaurs and Cavemen Science Expo

Central Missouri lacks a Natural History Museum, so this team of local Anatomists, Paleontologists and other community members build this pop-up Natural History museum each year to welcome Missourians into the world of fossils, science, and opportunity. Learn how to knap stone tools, how hard crocodiles bite and how paleontologists find new fossils of our ancestors. Meet local and visiting paleontologists, learn about the latest discoveries at Mizzou and share your enthusiasm for Earth's history and its future.

Impact

Dinosaurs and Cavemen Science Expo welcomes over 1000 Missourians every year and has opened doors for students, teachers and parents to find new avenues of discovery and inquiry available at MU. It has helped train dozens of undergraduate and graduate students in science communication, advocacy and community engagement.
