About this Event

Make Your Own Rain Gauge

Become a backyard scientist! In this hands-on STEAM program, kids will learn how meteorologists measure rainfall and then build their own rain gauge using simple materials like plastic bottles, rocks, and sand. Take it home and start tracking the weather right outside your door! For ages 6 & up.


The Public can park for FREE in the Main Library's Staff Parking Lot on Putnam St on Saturdays and on Tuesday and Wednesday afternoons after 4:45pm.
