Water Power Day

A Day of STEM Exploration and Water-Powered Fun!

See how Peirce Mill uses the power of water to grind corn into cornmeal. Then experiment with water toys, learn about Archimedean screws, and construct a paper-plate waterwheel. DC Water will provide plenty of fresh, cold drinking water, a river clean-up activity for kids, and a misting tent where folks can cool off safely. The Rock Creek Conservancy will share the work they’re doing to keep Rock Creek clean and healthy–and what you can do to help protect our local waters. And the Interstate Commission on the Potomac River Basin will host a creek critter meet and greet. Learn about the macroinvertebrates that call Rock Creek home!

Enjoy free summer fun for all ages in Rock Creek Park!

Rain Date: Sunday, July 13
