It’s Gerard, The Discovery’s resident Allosaurus’ second birthday. To celebrate, we’re filling the museum with a ton of dinosaur themed activities like this one! Visit Spark!Lab Smithsonian to invent your own modern-day dinosaur. Using a variety of recycled materials you can create a new imaginary type of dinosaur. Be sure to consider where it will live, what advantages it should have, and any other attributes it might need to survive.
Please note: Spark!Lab offers access to tools and materials that can cause injury if used improperly. Parents are encouraged to help young inventors use the tools and materials safely in this space.
