Duck ‘n’ Hover is our popular annual teen engineering event for
students in grades 8 through 12. They will design and build a
wind-powered device that can lift a payload of rubber ducks three
stories high! To participate, register for free by Wednesday, May 27.
Students will be assigned a team to participate in the engineering
challenge, and each team will be led by a near-peer mentor. No
previous engineering experience is necessary, and participants will be
provided a t-shirt and lunch! Families of teens are welcome to attend
the event and watch the timed team trials with purchase of Exhibit
Halls admission (or use a family or library membership). Participate
in fun engineering activities throughout the Museum and meet local
engineers who will share their work and insights into the world of
engineering. EDUCATORS, free bus transportation is available for
groups of 25 or more. Any school for which at least one educator and
ten students attend will be entered in a raffle for one free field
trip for the 2020 – 2021 school year! *Note that students
participating in the competition must arrive by 8:30 am. The Museum
Exhibit Halls open for guests at 9:00 am. Duck 'n' Hover family
activities run at select times during regular Exhibit Halls hours.
