Program Description

Event Details

Enjoy a take home kit from SpectrUM. This kit is suitable for grades 3-6.  

SpectrUM says about this kit, "Tensegrity tables and other structures seem to be all the rage these days. They can be relatively simple to build and the effect is wonderful - they look impossible and appear to defy gravity! We thought we would get in on the fun by developing one to distribute as an engineering science kit to kids around the state of Montana. In researching how to go about this, we found a number of other Instructables that demonstrate how to use hot glue, string and popsicle sticks to create a structure that uses tension and integrity to appear to defy gravity."
