Everyday Engineering: Making it Go!
Explore how energy is transferred between objects and how to distribute energy and force throughout parts of a system. Practice using this knowledge to build and race rubber band-powered cars. Experiment with different design choices to adjust the transfer of energy and spread the force out to get the farthest distance you can. Supplies will be provided. Senior student volunteers will lead this engineering-focused series at R.H. Stafford Library in partnership with Minnesota Roots and Circuits.
Registration required. This series is focused for students grades 5-8 (ages 10-14). Due to space and supply limitations only attendees and library partners may be in the space. We encourage grown-ups and siblings who wish to stay nearby to browse the library collection or explore other areas of our library during this time.
