The Great Squirrel Challenge

Tinkering Time Together – Family Workshop

Sponsored by

Get ready to think like an engineer — and a squirrel! In this hands-on family and educator workshop, participants will design and build a creative structure that helps a squirrel get to a birdfeeder. Using a variety of everyday materials, families and educators will experiment with ramps, bridges, swings, tunnels, and climbing paths to create an exciting route full of twists, turns, and surprises.

Explore basic STEAM concepts like gravity, motion, problem- solving, and design testing. After building, families will test their structures and make improvements based on what they discover.

Perfect for curious kids and grown-ups who love to tinker, build, and laugh together, this playful workshop blends engineering, creativity, and a little backyard wildlife mischief.
