Activity

Program for kids ages 5-12. Join us for an exciting hands-on science adventure where kids will design, build, and race their very own balloon-powered cars! Young engineers will explore basic concepts of physics like motion, thrust, and friction while using recycled materials to create their vehicles. Participants will test their designs, make improvements, and learn through trial and error—all while having a blast! Essex Library programs are free and open to the public. Materials are limited, registration is required. Register: https://engagedpatrons.org/EventsExtended.cfm?SiteID=1314&EventID=546041&PK=
