Summer Science Series: Simple Machines Design Challenge (ages 7-12)
July 21, 2021
10:00 am–10:45 am
Join Waterworks Museum Education Staff live at the museum as we learn about simple machines and the engineering design process.
After reviewing the six simple machines, and locating examples of them in our Great Engines Hall, participants will use the Engineering Design Process and museum materials to create a machine that can move a small ball at least two inches. This program is recommended for ages 7-12.
Cost: $7 per participant. All participants may be accompanied by up to two adults at no additional charge. In accordance with the Governor’s latest mask advisory, face coverings for this event are only required for those over two years of age who have not yet been vaccinated.
To see more sessions in this series, check Wednesdays at 10 am in July on our events calendar.
