Teen STEM

Engineering a Toothpick Tower

Who can build the tallest tower? Come and challenge your friends!

What do you do when you have too many toothpicks and too many marshmallows?

Let your imagination grow with STEM skills and build a strong structure using lightweight materials.  

If you happen to swallow a marshmallow, that's ok!

Bring your creativity and a friend, team up with other teens in our media lab for this sticky activity.

The Maryland STEM Festival is a month-long celebration of science, technology, engineering and mathematics designed to advance STEM and STEAM education for children and teens that takes place every fall.
