Event Details

When the British passenger liner, Titanic, set sail on its maiden voyage on April 10, 1912, it was the largest, most luxurious ship in the world. It was described as “unsinkable.” At this program, homeschoolers will learn about the history of the Titanic, examine the engineering mistakes made by the ship’s engineers, and test principles such as buoyancy and overflow. For ages 5-12.
