Just Drop In: How Things Work at National Building Museum
*The event has already taken place on this date: Sat, 08/23/2025
Drop in and become a mini engineer! Kids will use paper plates, straws, tape, and other simple materials to design and build their own marble mazes. Inspired by Rube Goldberg machines, these creative challenges encourage problem-solving, experimentation, and fun as kids guide a marble from start to finish.
