About this event
This family-friendly event has 15 fun, interactive stations featuring rocks, fossils, and minerals from the New York State Museum (NYSM) Paleontology and Geology collections. Each station includes hands-on activities, designed by NYSM scientists and educators, and small take-home items, like coloring sheets with science facts and real fossils and minerals with short info cards.
Volunteers will have the chance to work directly with NYSM scientists and educators, helping visitors explore New York State’s geology and fossils. This is a great opportunity for students, and anyone interested in science or education to gain hands-on experience, learn from experts, and practice sharing science with the public. Training and guidance from NYSM staff will be provided.
