Program Description

Event Description

How quickly can a Zombie (ping pong ball) get to the bottom of a zip line string? If you're going to escape their clutches, you'd better know! In this challenge, kids (1) follow the design process to build a Ping-Pong ball carrier that slides quickly down a zip line string; (2) figure out how to keep something balanced; and (3) identify ways to reduce friction. For a great example built by the PBS Design Team, hit the green button on the right side of the registration page, or go to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FsyShX2NGFU.

Also be sure to check out all the creepy books in our collection on the walking dead...
