The 3D Digitization of Fossils for Educators & Citizen Scientists Workshop brought together scientists, collection professionals, and K-12 educators to discuss using 3D imaging and citizen science in the classroom. The workshop consisted of presentations on recently 3D scanned specimens for classroom use and potential ideas for lessons associated with the specimens. The workshop also provided an overview of exiting open-source software that can be used in K12. Participants were also introduced to paleo collections where they had the opportunity to see what’s available for future 3D scanning. Lastly, participants went on a field trip to Thomas farm where they were introduced to the specimens of the area and had a chance to do some fossil digging. | The 3D Digitization of Fossils for Educators & Citizen Scientists Workshop brought together scientists, collection professionals, and K-12 educators to discuss using 3D imaging and citizen science in the classroom.
