Join us for an in-person special evening for educators celebrating our new exhibition: Impact: The End of the Age of Dinosaurs.

The evening will feature a reception with drinks and snacks, followed by a talk from Macaulay Curator of Dinosaur Paleobiology, Roger Benson, and Curator of Meteorites, Denton Ebel, curator and meteorite specialist in the Division of Physical Sciences.

After the talk, teachers will have the opportunity to explore the before-and-after story of the asteroid impact that led to the extinction of non-bird dinosaurs and the majority of animal and plant species on the planet in Impact: The End of the Age of Dinosaurs.

This exclusive event is an opportunity to network with fellow educators and learn how to use this exhibition on school trips with your students.
