Program Description

Event Details

Challenge Island encourages creativity, critical thinking, and social skills while instilling a love of engineering.  Ages 8-12.  Registration required.  Call 619-527-3430 to sign up.  In today’s session, kids will learn how triangles are powerful not only in man-made buildings like bridges, but also in nature – such as in a shark’s mouth!  They will then build a truss bridge out of gumdrops and toothpicks, and test the strength of their bridge.
