500+ future innovators. 6 local libraries. Countless big ideas! 🚀⚙️

From January to June, our Early Engineers program (designed for builders under 5) hit the road to bring hands-on STEAM learning to our community. Together with local librarians, families spent hours designing, testing, and creating!

Our little engineers explored:
🌬️ Wind & Motion: Flying and floating contraptions in our wind tubes.
🏗️ Build This: Blueprint basics and Duplo amusement parks.
⚙️ Simple Machines: Hands-on mechanics with nuts, bolts, and pulleys.

A massive thank you to our incredible sponsor, Boeing in Washington, and our wonderful library partners for helping us inspire the next generation of creators! 💡🛠️
