STEM Education is More Important Than Ever
We are committed to providing a safe and inclusive environment for interactive Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math lessons for kids in grades K through 8. Students grow their confidence in STEM topics while building, experimenting, and designing in a way they can’t in a traditional classroom.
Spring 2026
Ball Run Engineering Challenge for grades 3 – 8
$12 per student
In this hands-on STEM workshop, students will participate in the Science Buddies Ball Run Engineering Challenge, a nationwide design challenge that introduces students to the engineering design process in a fun and engaging way. Participants will work in teams to design, build, test, and improve a track that carries a ball from start to finish using everyday materials. With guidance from Millersville University engineering majors, this activity highlights real-world engineering concepts such as gravity, motion, energy transfer, slope, and structural stability. The challenge encourages creativity, collaboration, and critical thinking while giving students experience with iterative problem-solving.
This is a single, 2-hour workshop. Admission is included for students who are registered for this class.
