About This Activity
Description
During the Family Engagement event, each family will become a STEAM Team during Kilimanjaro Climb on Believe It or Not Island. Together, families will learn about Mount Kilimanjaro, an ice-capped mountain in Tanzania, Africa. They will explore how temperature, plants, and animals change across the mountain’s five distinct climate zones (biomes) as elevation increases. Next, using the STEAMbuilding steps, collaboration, and problem-solving, each family team will design a safe, slow ride from the summit down through all five biomes, using the right slope to control speed and keep riders safe. Families will then use creativity and artistic skills to design, decorate, and share their Kilimanjaro rides with the group. Light refreshments included!Instructor: Challenge Island
