Spark some early engineering curiosity with the **Hands-on K'NEX 3-D Construction & Destruction Challenge** at the Port Union library branch. Kids get the chance to imagine, design, and construct high-strength 3-D bridges using supplied K’NEX pieces, putting their architectural dreams to the ultimate test.

### The 'Bridge-Crusher' Test Once construction is complete, participants evaluate their structures using a specialized load-testing rig. It's a fantastic, hands-on way for young minds to observe real-world structural strength, learn basic applied science principles, and experience the thrill of iterative problem-solving.

### Practical Info * **Venue:** Port Union Library Branch (5450 Lawrence Avenue East) * **Date & Time:** August 6, 2026, from 6:00 PM to 7:00 PM * **Cost:** Free (Drop-in, but space is limited—tickets handed out 30 minutes prior)
