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 and is free of charge, suggested donation $5. Face coverings are recommended but not required. Help us plan by reserving your free tickets in advance.
