Program Description

Are you ready for a STEAM challenge?

This week's challenge is: A Raft for the Gingerbread man!

Oh no! The Gingerbread Man has outrun many creatures, but now he is on a riverbank and can run no more. Don't let the sly fox trick him and eat him up! Instead you can help the Gingerbread Man by building him a raft using just straws and pipe cleaners. When you are done building, tape a quarter to your paper gingerbread man and test out your raft in a bucket or your sink.

For Grades K-8

Pick up your STEAM Challenge kit at any of our locations (limited number of kits available), beginning on Monday, July 6, then get to work!

Join on a live Zoom call on Saturday, July 11, at 1 p.m. to show off how you solved the challenge.  Fill out the registration form to save your spot and receive the zoom link. If you are unable to attend the Zoom meeting, you can email Ms. Elizabeth at emurray@sjpl.lib.mo.us with pictures of your challenge instead.
