Test your packing skills with this exciting STEM challenge! Experiment with us to discover the best ways to protect eggs as they fall from great heights!

An egg drop is a fun STEM experiment that challenges participants to protect raw eggs from breaking as they’re dropped from a tall location. By using common household materials, tweens will be encouraged to design their own egg-cellent protection and put it to the test! Do you have what it takes to protect Humpty from a great fall?

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.
