Event Details

In the space lander challenge, teams build a lander to keep two marshmallow "aliens" inside a cup as it is dropped from various heights.  Using straws, index cards, and mini marshmallows, students apply concepts of shock-absorption, drag forces, and stability, to create and test their designs.  Additional lunar activities will be provided.  This event is part of the Maryland STEM Festival.  Ages 5 - 12.  Please register online or call.
