Junkyard Wars: Family Challenge

Are you ready for a challenge? With supplied materials and tools, families will be challenged to create a kooky contraption to perform a specific task. Will the task be to launch a ball, squirt water, hoist something into the air, or something else entirely? You'll find out on challenge day! Families will have one hour to engineer or build their creations before testing it. The program is free to register and participate. A limited number of registrations are available. 

The family that wins the May 11th competition at the LCM will qualify to participate in the final challenge at the Milton Maker Space on Saturday, May 18 from 2:30 pm-4:00 pm and compete against the finalists from the Bloomsburg Children's Museum and the Milton Maker Space. 

This program is made possible by a grant from Remake Learning Days of Northeastern PA and is hosted in collaboration with the Bloomsburg Children's Museum, and the Milton Maker Space. Registration required.
