Step into our engineering lab and put your creativity, problem-solving, and structural skills to the test in this high-stakes design challenge! Participants will use interlocking plastic bricks to engineer and construct their very own structures. Once the buildings are complete, they must face the ultimate test: our unpredictable weather machine! Each round, a new forecast will be drawn—ranging from a sudden downpour and flooding, to high winds, horizontal rain, a swirling tornado, or the ultimate test of “everything” at once. Learn firsthand how real-world engineers design for disaster. Mother Nature is unpredictable—can you outsmart her?
Craft supplies and available seating in the Makerspace is reserved for registered participants only.
This event is for ages 11 to 14. Registration for this tween program opens on August 18th.
