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

Join us for a fun afternoon of learning about energy through the construction and use of popsicle stick catapults. After building the catapults, we will also conduct a competition to see which design works best.

This hands-on program will provide children with the opportunity to use their critical thinking and problem-solving skills to achieve a result.

All materials provided.

This program is designed for children 6 years of age and older.
