EDUCATION

Outreach, Awareness, Exhibits/Displays

One of the key pillars of the Foundation is to spark curiosity in science and education, among students and the public. An important aspect of the Foundation's activities is public outreach through paleontology and geology programs. The Foundation also raises multicultural and conservation awareness through local school programs focused on African wildlife and culture.
