DESCRIPTION:Celebrate Women’s History Month by designing and buildi
 ng a bridge of your own. .\nhttps://mcpl.libnet.info/event/15544554
X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:<p>Did you know that women have been crucial 
 in the history of bridge building? Emily Warren Roebling&nbsp\;took over a
 s project manager of the construction of the Brooklyn Bridge after her hus
 band\, the chief engineer\, became ill. She learned all about engineering\
 , and supervised the project for over a decade. Bridges come in many shape
 s and sizes\, built from a variety of materials. What makes the strongest 
 bridges? Find out by designing and building your own simple bridges out of
  a variety of household materials\, then testing how much weight they can 
 hold. This hands-on program will&nbsp\;provide children with the opportuni
 ty to use their critical thinking and&nbsp\;problem-solving skills to achi
 eve a result.&nbsp\;</p>\n<p><strong>Tickets required\, first come first s
 erved. Please pick up tickets at the front desk. Limited to 60 people.&nbs
