March 2024: Building the City!

Join us to learn how engineers have used science, math, and the art of design to solve challenges – shaping New York City into the city we know and love today! Try your own hand at urban planning as you design a building or test a bridge structure. Then, pick up a scavenger hunt to find historical artifacts and uncover the stories of people who built the city.

Time: 11am-4pm

Activities are included with general admission. Geared towards ages 6+ and open to all.
