A program for the older kids

[fossilsonwheels]

Today we did something pretty cool. We took our dinosaurs to The Inn, an assisted living facility. The science talk got deep and they were really into it. We gave them fossils and did our thing for an hour and a half ! The seniors were so much fun and pretty enjoyable for me just a few months removed from my fathers death. We got asked back to do the shark thing  Fun way to expand our programs !!!

I think that’s great, reaching out to wider audience, who also might not have the opportunity visit museums very often. It just shows that dinosaur just captivate the imagination of the young and older.

Yes, well done!

It’s been my personal experience that the “older kids” need, and I would say crave, mental stimulus just as much as the younger ones. 
 

I’m glad you were able to bring your show to them. Good job!

Yes they do and while the fossils were getting their attention, they were really interested in science talk. They had some fantastic questions.

Mike- it is a good idea to tuck away for sure. We plan on making this a regular part of what we do.

Exactly. Well said.  They do need and appreciated some scientific stimulation of the mind. We will be doing more of these in the future.
