“Arrive ten minutes early to secure a spot and grab a library card.”
Building Bridges: 3rd-5th grade STEAM Lab is a free, hands-on science and engineering workshop for elementary school students at the Wendell Community Library. Children will explore structural design by planning, constructing, and testing their own miniature bridge models. This program is designed specifically for children in grades three through five, making it a perfect fit for older elementary students who enjoy building. The event is entirely free to attend, and all construction materials are provided by the library. Parking is available in the library's main lot off West Campen Street, and you do not need to bring any special supplies. It is a smart addition to your Saturday afternoon lineup because it offers a structured, educational activity during the weekend. Your child gets to experiment with real engineering concepts while you enjoy a quiet hour to browse the library shelves.
