Winter Break Program: Engineer It Better!

December 30, 2016 @ 2:00 pm - 4:00 pm

Visit the CMCH during winter break for an afternoon of innovation and creativity, and work with your family to engineer a structure that can support weight. Come up with a design, plan it out using paper, pencil, or LEGO bricks, then choose from a variety of materials, like straws, toothpicks, and newspapers, to build your structure. See if you can build something that will support a book, a box, or even you!

The drop-in program is great for ages 5 and up. Free for CMCH members, free with admission for non-members. For more information, call (860) 236-5621 x222 or email corinne_swanson@chs.org.
