If you know any High School youth in NYC, please let them know:

IMAGINE being a globe-trotting paleontologist, on an exciting dig, uncovering a previously unknown cache of dinosaur fossils. How will you identify what species you found, or how they fit together? In Capturing Dinosaurs you will learn how, going behind-the-scenes into the Museum's Big Bones room and using the latest 3D capturing, modeling, and printing technology to build your own dinosaur model.

This summer the American Museum of Natural History, for the first time, is offering a comparative skeletal anatomy program - Capturing Dinosaurs: Reconstructing Extinct Species Through Digital Fabrication - using digital fabrication with a specific focus on dinosaur fossils. Educational comparative anatomy programs teach youth about mechanisms of evolution, shared and derived traits, adaptations to the environment, and about the organisms themselves. The recent emergence of the next generation of digital fabrication tools - for digitally capturing, digitally modeling, and physically printing a subject - bring comparative anatomy to life by engaging youth around the topic and teaching them how to interpret and visualize evolutionary principles.
