Playful Engineers are returning to the Central Library with their Chain Reactions program!
Kids will design, build, test, and play with chain reactions and creative contraptions, like Rube Goldberg Machines, paper constructions, domino towers, exploding popsicle-stick snakes, and other awesome engineering explorations.
This workshop is recommended for kids ages 6-12. Adults should plan to accompany kids 8 and younger.
For more information, contact Ellen at [email protected].
