SUMMARY:Engineers Week 2026
DESCRIPTION:Engineers Week @ APM\nWinter Break Programs | February 2026 \nCelebrate Engineers Week with hands-on challenges designed to spark curiosity\, creativity\, and problem-solving. Throughout February break\, families are invited to drop in and explore engineering through building\, testing\, and playful experimentation. Bring your imagination and we’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. \n⌚ Monday\, Wednesday\, and Thursday\, 11 am–2 pm📍 American Precision Museum\, Windsor\, VT👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Families (adult supervision required)🎟️ 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.

SUMMARY:Marble Rollercoaster - Spring Break Program
DESCRIPTION:Build a marble raceway as you engineer sturdy piers and ramps\, experiment with curves and loops\, and add playful features like gates\, spinners\, and switchbacks.  \nWe’ll have pre-scored paper and chipboard stands and ramps for families to construct a marble raceway. We’ll have examples of different components they can attempt to engineer into their designs (curves\, loops\, switches\, gates\, spinners\, etc)

SUMMARY:Zipline Challenge - Spring Break Program
DESCRIPTION:Design a gravity powered vehicle to successfully roll (not slide) along a wire zipline. Explore balance and stability as you try to make it all the way down.  \nWe will stretch a wire across the room. Builders will figure out how to get something to balance and then roll along the wire.

SUMMARY:Members' Preview Day
DESCRIPTION:It’s almost time for summer hours again! To celebrate\, we’re planning a members-only preview day on Saturday\, April 25\, the weekend before summer hours begin. This special event will offer exclusive access to the museum\, along with a casual mixer as our way of saying thank you. We look forward to welcoming you into the space ahead of the general public and sharing what your support has helped make possible.
