Step into the world of innovation and engineering at our STEAM Bridge Building Challenge! Kids will put their STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics) knowledge to the test as they design and construct bridges using basic materials. From popsicle sticks to straws, creativity knows no bounds as young engineers craft their structures. But the ultimate test awaits as rubber ducks take center stage, serving as the measure of a bridge's strength. Join us for a hands-on adventure where imagination meets ingenuity, and every bridge built is a triumph of innovation!
