Saturday, February 27 - Roebling, Burlington County
Celebrate National Engineering Week & Introduce A Girl To Engineering Day!
Children Friendly
The Roebling Museum, located in the historic Village of Roebling, NJ, is proud to announce another of its family-friendly programs. On Saturday, we will again celebrate STEAM-science, technology, engineering, arts/architecture and math at the Roebling Museum!
This time, in addition to the chance to test simple machines and build bridges and mini-catapults, the museum will offer two new, high-tech engineering experiences. The K'Nex Transportation Lab will provide visitors the opportunity to try their hand at building their own motorized modes of transportation. Build one vehicle, test it out, take it apart and build again. This fun and challenging experience will encourage participants to experiment with design, construction, and scientific testing.
The Bridge Builder Virtual Lab will provide the chance for children to work in small groups to play an engaging bridge construction game. Increasing levels will provide the chance to work with a variety of virtual materials and to test the strength and capabilities of each bridge their group constructs.
Kids Create: Now will run from 10:00 am - 4:00 pm. Admission is $5 dollars. Children 5 and under are free. Pre-registration is encouraged but not required. Bring your family to this exciting program, and experience the Roebling legacy while enjoying the wonders of modern technology, too!
The Roebling Museum is located at 100 Second Avenue, Roebling, NJ. For more information, call 609-499-7200 or visit www.roeblingmuseum.org.
