Try It Truck
The Try It Truck is our engineering-lab-on-wheels, bringing hands-on STEAM programming to your school, camp or library!
K – 5th grade students will Think, Make, Try® through ideas and build creative problem-solving skills by asking questions, designing solutions and testing their ideas. Students and families will explore hands-on stations and learn about concepts of cause and effect, energy, and structure and function.*
