About the Event
Put your engineering skills to the test in this STEAM Challenge: Erosion & Flood Risk Reduction! Participants will learn about Hattie Scott Peterson, a geologist and environmental scientist who studied how erosion and flooding affect communities. Then, dive into a hands-on challenge to design and build models that slow erosion and reduce flood risk. Using creativity, teamwork, and problem-solving, young engineers will test their ideas, observe how water moves across land, and improve their designs—just like real scientists and engineers.
Recommended for ages 6 and up.
Included with museum admission or membership. Supplies are limited; first come, first served. Your child earns a free Cane’s children’s combo when you participate in this activity and fill out a quick parent survey!
