InGen, the company behind Jurassic Park and Jurassic World are working on a new, vital research project, and they've asked Hoover Library and its students to help them complete it! As guest researchers at this temporary InGen research facility, students will complete four activities related to the creation of a new breed of dinosaur, the Herbiesaurus Rex!
Your research project begins at the Welcome table in the Hoover Library rotunda where you will receive your Research Log and directions to the first two activities. If you're not sure where to go, just follow the dino footprints to the Presidential Board Room (2nd floor) and then Conference Room 1B (1st floor). Once you have completed all four activities, head back to the welcome table in the Rotunda to turn in your Research Log!
Be sure to include your name and email address on your Research Log so you will be entered in the raffle to win a portable mini photo printer! Also remember that the first 50 in-person attendees will receive a free t-shirt!
These activities should take you approximately 30-45 minutes to complete, depending on how quickly you complete them and whether you do so individually or with a partner or small group. You may participate as many times as you like, but you may only receive one raffle entry and one free t-shirt per person.
