Make lasting memories, learn fascinating science concepts, and test your engineering skills in this fall-themed family science lab. Join us for Pumpkin Chunkin Science!
For over 2,000 years, mankind has used catapults to launch projectiles. In this exciting event, you’ll learn about the energy and force it takes for modern-day “chunkin” enthusiasts to launch pumpkins into world record history. Participants will build and test catapults for distance and accuracy. To wrap up the lab, you’ll create your own unique elastic energy launcher and see how it performs in our “pumpkin chunkin” challenge.
Pre-registration is required. Tickets cannot be purchased at the door.
Date and Time: Saturday, October 26th, 1:00 PM – 3:00 PM
