About the event
Ages 4-6 (parents may stay and join the fun at no additional charge)
Location: 130 Rollins Ave, Suite F-2, Rockville, MD 20852 (free parking available)
Young scientists, ages 4-6, will learn how to think like an engineer as we build rockets from paper cups and balloons. The goal isn't just to make the cup fly, each child will be challenged to predict, build, test, modify, and test again...just like an engineer does! Some of the topics we'll cover include forces, motion, air pressure, thrust, and engineering design.
Parents may either drop off their child or stay and join the fun too (no charge for adults to participate)!
