Spaghetti Bridges
Be an engineer! Build and test bridges with different loads and forces.
Create structures using shapes! Kids will draw their own unique design, measure the pieces, assemble the frame, then test how much weight their bridge can carry. Come explore forces, loads and materials to see how bridges work!
1 Your Guide
As a scientist, I LOVE exploring and learning through hands-on experimenting! Planting seeds and sprouts and watching them grow is one of my favourite things to do. I am an active learner and am currently participating in my MEd, my fourth university degree. I have worked with the Ontario Science Centre, Science North, and as a grade 7 and 8 classroom teacher for many years - all great places to try new things. I believe staying curious is the most important thing people can do!
I like taking pictures of plants, animals, water and sky, then use them to create fun works of art using glass, wood or paint!
