Central Library

Youth Program Room

Right in the middle of the winter holiday, all anyone can think about is sunny days and warm weather. And what is a better part of summer than water slides? Work together with a team to figure out the best way to get small items from one end of a water slide that has landings to the other. Then test your group’s creation against the other groups to see whose is fastest.
