The Science of Soccer: Foot Friction (Children's Event)
Engineered by The Franklin Institute, presented by Bentley, and led in partnership with the Free Library of Philadelphia
Monday, May 11 at 4:00 PM
Learners take on the role of sports engineers to test how traction works on the sole of a soccer cleat. Learners will design, build, and test their own prototype soccer cleat. They’ll explore how friction and traction affect movement and performance on different surfaces. For ages 4 to 12 years old.
