Throughout February break\, families are invited to drop in and explore engineering through building\, testing\, and playful experimentation. Bring your imagination and weโ€™ll provide the materials\, tools\, and prompts to get you started. \nThese activities are designed to be flexible and welcoming\, with challenges that can be adjusted for different abilities and interests. Families can join for 30 minutes or stay longer as projects grow and ideas evolve. All programs are included with museum admission. \nโŒš Monday\, Wednesday\, and Thursday\, 11 amโ€“2 pm๐Ÿ“ American Precision Museum\, Windsor\, VT๐Ÿ‘จโ€๐Ÿ‘ฉโ€๐Ÿ‘งโ€๐Ÿ‘ฆ Families (adult supervision required)๐ŸŽŸ๏ธ Included with museum admission \n\nMonday\, February 23: Maze Craze\nDesign and build a handheld marble maze filled with twists\, turns\, and clever traps. Families will start with a laser-cut base and add walls\, obstacles\, and pitfalls to guide a steel marble through the maze. Magnetic traps introduce an extra layer of challenge as you test\, refine\, and re-engineer your design. \n\nWednesday\, February 25: Catapult Challenge\nExplore the power of precision and interchangeable parts as you construct mini-catapults using laser-cut wooden pieces. Test how changes to tension\, angle\, and arm length affect performance\, then scale up your thinking. Using everyday building materials\, families will design and build larger launchers to fling Nerf balls toward hoops and bucket targets. \n\nThursday\, February 26: Marble Roller Coasters\nEngineer a marble raceway using sturdy piers\, ramps\, and supports. Experiment with curves\, slopes\, and loops\, and add interactive features like gates\, spinners\, and switchbacks. With pre-scored components and inspiration pieces available\, families can build simple runs or challenge themselves with more complex designs. \n\nPlan your visit and spend February break discovering how engineering turns ideas into action.
