For kids and tweens ages 8 to 12 years old.
Get ready to launch, aim, and knock it down! In this action‑packed program, kids will test their skills using slingshots big and small. Start with handheld slingshots and challenge each other to take down “walls,” then level up to a life‑sized slingshot to launch a beach ball across the room!
Along the way, you’ll discover what makes your shots go higher, farther, or faster—but mostly, you’ll be experimenting, competing, and seeing what happens when you give it your best shot.
Come for the slingshots, stay for the excitement, and see how much fun it is when science gets a little wild!
For kids and tweens ages 8 to 12 years old. Please register each child attending separately.
