  • DinoLab. Dino Lab is a collaboration between EAE students and the Museum of Natural History. The goal of the game is to teach critical thinking in students ages 10-13.

By thinking critically, students can beat the game without ever building a successful dinosaur as long as they understand why it failed. PI: Altizer R., CO-PI: Bown R. Release Date: 12/01/2016.
