Learn about bridge design from some of MIT’s Civil Engineering students, then put your knowledge to the test in a competition to build the strongest bridge. We’ll provide materials and feedback on your designs, and at the end of the class, we’ll see which bridge can hold the most weight.

Learn more about the measures used to determine water quality in the Charles river and other bodies of water. Then take a trip outside to the river to perform some simple tests yourself. (Make sure to bring warm clothes!)

Come make a friendship bracelet! Done it before? Great! Come use our materials and maybe discover a new design. Never tried? We'll be happy to teach you some simpler patterns.
