Engineering: Buoyancy on the Mayflower! at West
Wednesday, November 4, 2026 · 2:00 PM – 4:00 PM
Somerville Public Library — West Branch — 40 College Ave., Somerville, MA
Come join Jen on this half-day Wednesday to get a little messy!! We will be using lots of different materials to engineer boats that will float!! Each child will make their own version of the Mayflower and then test out their boat to see if it will float!! How much weight can your boat hold? Let's experiment and find out!! This program is best for kids ages 5+ (under 8 with a grown up, please!)
