Build Your Own Hovercraft



Science and engineering activity for adults and kids

Jun 25, 2025. 4:30 p.m. to 6 p.m.

Get ready to build your very own hovercraft! We'll show you how to use balloons, caps, hot glue, straws, and other found materials to create a fun, floating contraption. Test your hovercraft on different surfaces—will it hover on the carpet? How about on the table? 


This activity is perfect for everyone because it offers hands-on fun. You'll enjoy a creative challenge as you bring your hovercraft to life. It’s also family-friendly, allowing both adults and kids to join in on the fun together. Plus, it's a take-home project, so you can continue testing your design after the event!


The activity is open to all ages, although children under 5 may require some assistance from an adult. No registration is needed; simply drop by during activity hours. However, pre-registering can help you keep track of the event. Payment can be made with exact cash or through Venmo at the register. We’ll provide all the materials for a fun and engaging experience, so come create and have fun!
