Event Details

In this hands-on program, homeschoolers will change the direction and strength of a wrecking ball’s push to solve a problem—How can they knock down a wall of cups without knocking down the paper houses behind them. They’ll use both structural and demolition engineering principles in this challenge. For ages 5-12.

We know there are all kinds of kids with all kinds of needs, so if your child might benefit from some sensory accommodations like fidget items or noise-reducing headphones while in the library or at a program, ask at the Children’s Desk for our Sensory Accommodations Kit!
