How did the workers on the Percy & Small Shipyard get large timbers into the mill, or raise the heavy frames of the ships they were constructing? How did they get power from one engine to multiple machines? Come experiment with simple machines that were essential to the work being done here, and are still essential in many aspects of life today. 

Our STEAMbox program, where you will explore maritime topics through hands-on learning in STEM + the arts to create, build and problem solve, are held on Saturdays from 10:30–11:30 am. The content appropriate for ages 4–10 years, but all are welcome. Pre-registration is required, and opens one month in advance.
