Free for members Nonmembers require drop in pass that can be purchased here: https://www.zeffy.com/en-US/ticketing/beyond-walls-parent-memberships Set sail with Beyond Walls for a hands-on day of creativity, problem-solving, and outdoor exploration at the creek! Using a variety of building materials and natural treasures gathered from the environment, kids will design, build, test, and redesign their very own boats. Will your boat carry the most cargo? Travel the farthest? Stay afloat the longest? There's only one way to find out! Along the way, everyone will explore basic engineering concepts such as buoyancy, balance, design, and adaptation through open-ended play and experimentation. Each child will also receive a Voyage Journal Unit Study to document their adventure: ⚓ Sketch their boat design ⚓ Record materials used ⚓ Make predictions before testing ⚓ Track results and redesign ideas ⚓ Reflect on what they learned as an engineer This activity is designed for all ages and encourages creativity, critical thinking, collaboration, and a love of learning outdoors. Bring clothes that can get a little wet, and a spirit of adventure. Families are welcome to bring a picnic lunch to enjoy by the water after our boat trials.
