🦕 Dinosaur Fact!
One of Mary Anning's most famous discoveries wasn't actually a dinosaur—it was an Ichthyosaur, a giant marine reptile that lived in the oceans more than 200 million years ago.
When Mary discovered the first complete Ichthyosaur skeleton as a young girl, it helped scientists better understand prehistoric life and changed the way people viewed Earth's ancient past.
This summer, discover the remarkable story of Mary Anning and explore fossils, prehistoric creatures, dinosaur bones, and interactive experiences at the Lowell Milken Center for Unsung Heroes.

🌟 Fellowship Impact

What happens when passionate educators come together to explore powerful stories, collaborate with peers, and develop innovative project-based learning experiences?

The impact reaches far beyond a single summer.

Each year, Lowell Milken Center Fellows return to their classrooms with fresh inspiration, new ideas, and meaningful ways to engage students through the stories of Unsung Heroes.

💬 "A world-class educational and personal experience that has 'bettered me' as a teacher and person. Will be forever grateful for my time at the LMC in 2025."

— Graeme Stacey, 2025 LMC Fellow, Kelowna, British Columbia

Through the Fellowship, educators don't just learn about Unsung Heroes—they inspire the next generation to create positive change in their communities and beyond.
