The Tech Build Challenge

JUNE 15 - JULY 27
Tuesdays from 3pm - 4pm

This program is a series of DIY engineering and at-home activities that can be put together with inexpensive materials or objects you find around the house. Co-hosted by The Tech, formerly known as The Tech Museum, emphasizes the importance of developing engineering solutions that would be practical in real life.Recommended for children 6 and up.

Sign up for the Design Challenge Activities!  We’ll meet through Zoom and have one-hour workshops to focus on different design challenges. The design challenges will be:

JUNE 15 - Cross the Gap
