Our July 2026 Library Workshop challenged participants to become engineers by building a working hydraulic drawbridge. Using syringes, tubing, water, and a laser-cut bridge structure, participants discovered how water pressure can be used to create movement and lift heavy structures. By the end of the workshop, each participant had constructed a bridge that could be raised and lowered using a simple hydraulic system. Through this hands-on activity, participants explored several important STEM...
