GARNA has invited experiential educator John Hankla to bring a few cast dinosaur skeletons to Salida and present a program about recent discoveries in Utah. Attendees will get up-close and see the “murderous monster” Terataphoneus and the bizarre Cosmosceratops. John will present a slideshow that will share the importance of these new dinosaurs being discovered at the Grand Staircase National Monument in southern Utah. In September, John will be joining the team from the Denver Museum of Nature and Science on an important dig.
John Hankla works with natural history museums to create remarkable exhibits and experiences in galleries, online and in the field. He directs immersive courses and tours to dinosaur dig sites in remote Wyoming with his organization, Dinosaur Discovery Adventures. He is currently working with the Dinosaurs of the Lost World exhibit at the Cranbrook Institute of Science in Michigan where he serves as a lecturer and adjunct curator of natural history exhibits. John uses his expertise along with an extensive personal collection of cast dinosaur skeletons to create learning opportunities in natural history museums, art galleries and school programs; this event is designed for all ages.
The program will take place from 4:00 until 5:30 p.m. at the Salida Middle School gymnasium.
