Join the New York Public Library as we collaborate with the Children's Museum of Manhattan for the Summer Reading Challenge's Science Clubs!

Spend seven weeks this summer becoming a super scientist. CMOM educators will lead weekly workshops exploring simple machines and their unique functions. Kids will learn about gears, pulleys, wheel and axles and much more through hands-on demonstrations.  Get hands-on learning by building models such as cars, planes and paddle boats that lead up to a culminating activity where kids work together with other super scientists to build their very own Rube Goldberg machine!

Presented by the Children’s Museum of Manhattan. For ages 6 and older.

Summer Science Clubs run from July 7 – August 26. Check out the participating sites below and find one near you!
