Black Creativity Career Showcase

  • Griffin Museum of Science and Industry 5700 S Lake Shore Dr, Chicago, IL 60637, United States (map)

In celebration of Black Creativity, kids and families can talk with African American artists, scientists and engineers about innovative work. This is an opportunity to learn from experts during dynamic demonstrations, hands-on activities and one-on-one conversations. Discover how to turn your passions into a career!

We will feature our "Building Bridges" STEM program. Guests will learn about the engineering design process and the basic mechanics behind building bridges while designing their own bridge with toothpicks, marshmallows, and gum drops. Guests will have the opportunity to test their bridge for durability and strength with special weights.
