Tinker Lab: Build a Paper Roller Coaster

Wednesday, September 10
4:00-4:45 p.m.
Smyrna Library, Meeting Room
ages: 7-12 years old PLUS parent/grandparent/caregiver
RSVP – registration required

Event Description: Participants will learn about potential and kinetic energy. Have you ever ridden a roller coaster? Have you ever wanted to design your own? There are plenty of expensive toys and even video games that will let you build your own coasters—but in this project you'll make one out of paper and tape, and learn about roller coaster physics along the way!

Tinker Lab offers hands-on building activities for kids and adults working together. The library's goal for Tinker Lab is to provide an opportunity for an adult and a child to learn together and work collaboratively to solve a problem or create something new. Tinker Lab is not a drop-in program for all ages. It is designed to be a one-to-one learning experience for elementary-age children and their parent/caregiver. The activities are too complex for younger children.

Reminders:
- Please no daycare groups.
- Please do not bring younger siblings.
- Please arrive on time. Tinker Lab is not a drop-in activity.
