Tompkins
County Public Library and Cornell University’s Center for Materials Research
will host “Families Learning Science Together”: Bridge Building from 2 to 3
p.m. in the Thaler/Howell Programming Room.
Families will learn about structural engineering and what engineers have to consider when designing bridges. They will see how stresses are concentrated in materials and then try to build a drinking straw bridge to certain specifications.
Families Learning Science Together is a free program designed to help children develop an early love of science through hands-on participation. These programs are offered at the library once a month through April 2013.
Families Learning Science Together programs are free and open to the public, but space is limited. To register, contact Kaleigh at outreach@ccmr.cornell.edu or (607) 255-9547.
