Summer of Science at WAWM

The Science of NASCAR

Visitors got to design their own racetrack, and car on both the computer, and using replica figurines. Figured out what worked the best and learned about women like Debra Renschaw that race professionally.

Dice Doodlers

In this exclusive challenge only at the Women at Work Museum, selective teams were formed where the players completed a series of challenges that required the participants to have fun while learning.

Bridges & Skyscrapers

Why doesn’t the Brooklyn Bridge fall down? What keeps all those skyscrapers standing despite all that wind and rain? These answers were learned on June 30^th when the participants were given the chance to learn how a skyscraper was designed by architects like Emily Roebling who designed the Brooklyn Bridge. Then they made their own (much smaller version) and put it to the test!

Why does it sparkle?

A diamond is beautiful, but why? Learn about jewelry, and what makes it so beautiful, and who designs them.  While learning about jewelry participants were given the opportunity to design and create their own piece of beautiful jewelry and take it home to show off.
