Bigfoot & Dranginis in the Classroom
Posted by: Loren Coleman on March 16th, 2008
Bigfooter William Dranginis of Manassas, Virginia, shares the following experience about his time using Bigfoot in the classroom:
I was contacted by a local Science teacher a couple years ago and asked to come to her class and speak to them about the Bigfoot creatures and how one goes about researching a creature that the scientific community says does not exist. We discussed scientific methodology and how some Bigfoot researchers use this methodology in our research. We also discussed equipment researcher’s use in their quest, I even brought down the Bigfoot Research vehicle and allowed them to operate the thermal cameras and other gear, they really enjoyed that!
I came away knowing that there will be a new scientifically minded generation of Cryptozoologists coming up in the ranks. The questions they asked were amazing, I have no doubt, the future is in good hands.
The photographs on this page are ones Dranginis sent along from that trip.
Additionally, I want to mention that Bill Dranginis has received some positive local media regarding his Bigfoot research, for example, here and here.
Dranginis’ high tech van was very popular as a teaching tool.
Also, Bill Dranginis’ employment of nonbreakable, kid-friendly, nearly transparent two-part clear urethane display casts of the footprints of Bigfoot and Yeti are quite useful in classroom and museum situations. Dranginis is to be congratulated for his work in that arena.

This is great to see. As a teacher, I am happy to see educators include cyptozoology in their classes. I am working on a way to include it into my Pre-school curriculum!

If I’m not mistaken, Mr. Dranginis’ van was once featured in ‘Wired’ magazine.
