DeSTEMber Storm Drain Challenge

For tweens ages 9 to 12 years old.

About the Program

Put your problem-solving skills to the test in this hands-on STEM challenge. Using recycled materials and everyday items, tweens will design, build, and test tools and mechanisms to retrieve objects from the bottom of a simulated storm drain.

Working individually or as a team, participants will experiment, refine their designs, and apply real-world engineering and critical thinking skills as they tackle this fun and engaging challenge.

For tweens ages 9 to 12 years old.

This program will take place in the Beaupre Room, across the hall from the McCormick Branch Pop-Up Library.
