Presented by: Pickaway County Library

Get ready for a hands-on engineering challenge! Can you build a table out of paper strong enough to hold a stack of books? Start by selecting a type of paper and constructing your first table. Then, set a target weight, weigh the books, and put your table to the test! Track your results, make adjustments to improve stability, and try again with different types of paper. Which design will be the strongest? Let’s put your creativity and problem-solving skills to work!
