Then you need to put on your thinking cap to figure out how to complete the challenge with the items in the bag! Each week there will be a different engineering challenge. Pick up a mystery bag by the children's room information desk. The bags will be available on a first come first serve basis Saturday, 3/26, 4/2, 4/9, 4/16, and 4/23 beginning at 10am.
