STEM at the Library: Crankie Contraption

Maryland STEM Festival

Join us for an afternoon of STEM as part of the Maryland STEM Festival!

Join us for an afternoon of STEM-ertainment! Build a Crankie Contraption and tell an illustrated story with a screen-based machine. You will assemble the folding frame, illustrate a story, and roll out the narrative sequence on the paper scroll screen.

This program is part of the 9th Annual Maryland STEM Festival. The activity is for children ages 5 years old and up. Children under 8 years of age must be accompanied by an adult.

Library Program Attendance (both virtual and in the branch) is limited to participants within the suggested age range of the program. Children attending an MCPL program under the age of 8 must be accompanied by an adult. Adults attending a program intended for children must have an accompanying child.

Generously sponsored by the Friends of the Library, Montgomery County.
