Program Description

Event Details

Observation, playful exploration, and guided discussion help young students discover basic engineering principles while examining the details and designs of some of Pittsburgh’s most prominent bridges. Students compare various types of bridge structures, consider the durability of their construction materials, and participate in shared learning experiences, including model bridge building and river map navigation.

This program is made possible through the library's WQED Inquire Within Grant funded by Clearview Federal Union.
