Engineering

Get ready for a thrilling engineering adventure exploring the exciting world of forces! In this hands-on program, students can design and test balloon-powered cars, rubber band paddleboats, or stomp rockets. They’ll discover how air pressure and propulsion make their creations zoom and soar. Join us to become an engineer and have a blast with forces and motion! 

Fees: $18 per participating child (covers admission and program)/$14 per adult (adults will register upon arrival)

Registration deadline: February 22, 2025

This program will meet some of the requirements included in Junior: Mechanical Engineering Balloon Car and Paddle Boat, and Arrow of Light: Engineer Adventure.
