Get ready to soar! 

Drop in for this month’s hands-on S.T.E.A.M. Powered activity, designed for elementary-aged learners. In April, we’re building Q-tip gliders and exploring the basics of flight—like lift, balance, and aerodynamics. We’ll provide the materials and simple design ideas; kids bring their curiosity as they build, test, and tweak their gliders for the best flight. 

S.T.E.A.M. Powered activities encourage creativity, problem-solving, and experimentation through fun, collaborative challenges that get kids thinking like engineers and innovators.

Find us in the children's area April 15-18 (Wednesday-Friday 3-6:30pm, Saturday 1-4pm)!
