SUMMARY:STEAM Saturday – Whatever Floats Your Boat
DESCRIPTION:Saturday\, May 30\, 2026 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Set sail for a day of creativity and hands-on fun at May's STEAM Saturday\, "Whatever Floats Your Boat." This all-ages program invites guests to explore the science of buoyancy and engineering through interactive boat-building challenges. Participants will design and test boats using a variety of materials to see how much weight they can hold without sinking. Once a seaworthy design is complete\, guests will add sails to harness wind power and navigate across the water. The final challenge puts engineering skills to the test as participants create paddlewheel systems to race their boats in friendly competition. You will discover: -How design and materials impact buoyancy and stability -The basics of wind propulsion and sail function -How paddlewheel systems create movement through water -Creative problem-solving through hands-on engineering challenges STEAM Saturday is a monthly program that explores science\, technology\, engineering\, art and math through engaging\, hands-on activities designed for learners of all ages. This event is free with Discovery Park admission or membership.
