EDUCATORS: Summer Institute 2026 – Interpreting Prehistoric Worlds: Fossils, Art, and Inquiry

Join us at the Field Museum for this year’s exciting two-day Summer Institute – Interpreting Prehistoric Worlds: Fossils, Art, and Inquiry.
In this two-day, interdisciplinary session, educators will explore how fossils hold clues for interpreting the past. We will engage in inquiry with fossils and reflect upon how art, including popular media, can be used to help us illuminate both what we know and what we do not.
