Join our exciting, 1-hour program for kids ages 6–11!  Big STEAMers is a program that focuses on the five areas of STEAM; science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics, all geared toward elementary-aged kids.  Get ready to experiment, explore, and make some surprising discoveries at the Mercer County Library’s West Windsor Branch.  This week's topic: Science of Toys: Motion, Magic, & Newton's Laws! 

Young makers ages 6–11 will discover the surprising science hiding inside their favorite toys as they explore how motion really works.  Through hands-on experiments and playful challenges, kids will test out Newton's Three Laws using spinning tops, bouncing balls, zooming cars, and more.  They'll investigate why toys start, stop, speed up, and change direction - then design their own mini toy to take home.  It's STEAM learning powered by curiosity, creativity, and plenty of motion-filled fun.  Sponsored by the Friends of the West Windsor Library.
