About the event

Science Happy Hour - DINO 101: Principles of Dinosaurs
Grab a beverage and travel millions of years back in time! Join us for a fascinating Science Happy Hour as we uncover the real science behind what we know about dinosaurs.

Ever wondered which dinosaurs had feathers? Or which prehistoric giants once roamed Kansas and Missouri? Natural science illustrator Corbin Rainbolt will take us on a journey through deep time, showing how scientists unlock incredible secrets from ancient bones — revealing how these long-extinct creatures lived, moved, and looked. This presentation will be vibrant with dozens of his original renderings. To amp up the fun, everyone leaves with a Pocket Dino Guide and a Goodie Bag!

It’s science with a side of fun — because learning about dinosaurs is even better with good company and a cold drink!

Corbin Rainbolt is a natural science illustrator who specializes in drawing extinct animals and plants. He graduated from Earlham College in 2020 where he studied visual art while working as an illustrator for the Joseph Moore Museum in Richmond, Indiana. Over the last three years he has created many pieces of artwork for new paleontology exhibits at the Museum at Prairiefire, including the large mural behind the Tylosaurus skull in the museum’s upstairs mezzanine. He also produced a series of illustrations used in a set of field guides about plants and animals in the KC area. His work has been featured in exhibits at museums and nature centers around the country and his latest project, a science communication Instagram account called Paleo Kansas City, aims to produce extensive up to date and accurate artwork featuring prehistoric life from all around the Great Plains.
