SUMMARY:Egg Drop Engineering with Science Connections
DESCRIPTION:Calling all future NASA engineers!  Join Science Connections to test out your design and construction skills.  Learn how NASA engineers land their rovers on Mars or on the Moon. Apply some of the same techniques they used to plan\, build\, and test out your very own creation.  You must use the materials provided to complete the challenge: protect your raw egg cargo from a 10 foot drop! This program is part of the Maryland STEM Festival. \nRecommended age: 6 to 10. Limited to 25 participants. Free tickets are required to enter\, available in-person 30 minutes before the event. \nQuestions about this program? Contact the Twinbrook Library at 240-777-0240. \nLibrary Program Attendance (both virtual and in the branch) is limited to participants within the suggested age range of the program.
