Families Learning Science Together

2023 Program

Upcoming Event:

Saturday, May 13th from 1-2pm

Topic – Bridge Building

Families will learn about the different types of bridges and explore how different forces act on them. They will then construct their own truss bridge, using toothpicks, that spans across at least 5 inches and supports the weight of a food can.

 

Families Learning Science Together (FLST) is a hands-on science program for children ages 5 and up and their parents or caregivers. This program is lead by Cornell Center for Materials Research and co-sponsored with the Tompkins County Public Library (TCPL) in downtown Ithaca, NY.

The program is held every second Saturday of the month throughout the year. It will run from 1pm – 2pm in the BorgWarner West room of the Tompkins County Public Library. All FLST programs are free to the public, but space is limited.

Please reserve your spot by contacting us by email at ccmr_outreach@cornell.edu or by phone at (607) 592-4053. Drop-ins welcome if space allows.
