🌪️ STEM Scouts: Girl Scout Badge Quest | Hurricane Towers
🔬 Explore Hurricane Science, Engineering, and Creative Problem-Solving
Calling all Girl Scouts! Get ready to build, test, and explore as you take on a hands-on engineering challenge at the Long Island Explorium.
In Hurricane Towers, Girl Scouts will explore the science and force of hurricanes while learning how engineers design buildings to withstand extreme weather. Participants will design and build a hurricane-resistant structure, then put their creation to the test against wind and rain.
