How complex a machine can we make to accomplish a simple task? Help us construct something crazy! This event is part of our Wednesday drop-in series for teens ages 13-19.

To celebrate Maryland's Fall STEM Festival, we'll be creating a Rube Goldberg machine. We'll have a basic goal and a basket of parts to achieve it. But it's not about efficiency-- it's about creativity! How complex a machine can we make?

Have fun with friends, make new ones, or just hang out. Ask to speak with our Teen Librarians for more detailed information on what's planned each week.  Snacks and SSL hours are available.

This program is for ages 13-19 only.
