Library to Offer Family Science Program


Tompkins County Public Library and Cornell University’s Center for Materials Research will host “Catapults,” Saturday, June 11 from 1 to 2 p.m. in the Library’s BorgWarner Community Room.

Families will learn about simple machines by looking at the three different classes of levers. They will then build a basic catapult that hurls marshmallows at a target.

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 on the second Saturday of each month.

Families Learning Science Together programs are free and open to the public, but space is limited. To register, email ccmr_outreach@cornell.edu. Please include the name and age of all children in the email.
