Create a maze with straws, cardboard, and other found materials. Engineer a network of paths, then test your design with a marble or small ball. Use your problem-solving skills to escape the maze!
Each month look for a new video tutorial led by Librarian Jennifer, who will show you experiments and projects that you can easily do at home using items around the house. These projects are ideal for kids ages 4-8. This prerecorded video will be archived on the Wilmette Library website. Visit the WPL website to access our STEAM Lab archive.
