Little Turtle Branch

Meeting Room

What does it take to make a boat float? Is it the materials, the construction, or plain luck? Enter the ultimate boat building challenge and see if your ship has what it takes to sail the high seas.

Grab your favorite pirate hat and dive in to this exciting STEM challenge! Use recycled materials and your imagination to create a watertight ship that’s ready to set sail. Race against friends, or test the waters to see how much cargo your ship can carry! Do whatever floats your boat at this program!

Summer SPARK brings amazing events, creative programming, and fantastic prizes to everyone!  Get started at www.acpl.info/spark.  Summer SPARK is generously funded by the Foellinger Foundation, Friends of the Allen County Public Library and the Allen County Public Library Foundation.  

Space is limited: register in advance to reserve your spot and receive reminders. Registration will guarantee your seat until the event begins. Accessibility needs? Please contact ask@acpl.info as soon as possible - we’d love to help.
