Quest Presents: Treadmill Tinkering

About this event

Can your rolling invention take on a moving treadmill? Join us for Treadmill Tinkering, a free Sparks family activity from Quest Science Center. Build a vehicle or invent something entirely your own using wheels, axles, and other materials, then see what happens when the treadmill starts moving. Will your creation roll smoothly, wobble, or surprise you? Experiment with different designs and adjust the balance as you explore friction, motion, and what makes a design work. Children and adults are invited to tinker and solve problems together: Drop in anytime between 10 a.m. and noon and explore at your own pace. Most families spend 15–30 minutes on the activity. Sparks is Quest Science Center’s free monthly hands-on activity series for families, bringing science, engineering, and creativity to downtown Livermore.
