Power up at the Science of Big Machines weekend

Put on your hard hats and buckle up your construction vests—something big is rolling into Imagination Station. They are partnering with Kokosing for an actionpacked weekend of big machines and hands-on fun during The Science of Big Machines on Saturday, June 21 and Sunday, June 22.

The weekend is a behindthe- scenes look at how STEAM powers the real world of construction. Learn the science behind moving the earth—literally. Climb into the driver’s seat of real construction equipment. Meet the experts from Kokosing and learn how these machines get big jobs done. Plus, discover all the possible careers in the construction industry.

“We’re proud to partner with Kokosing to showcase the science of construction during the Science of Big Machines,” said Carl Nelson, chief scientist at Imagination Station. “From shaping the riverwalk to supporting the science center after our water line break, Kokosing’s impact is everywhere in Toledo—and now our community gets an exciting, hands-on look at the power and precision behind their work.”

“Kokosing is thrilled for the opportunity to provide kids (and construction enthusiasts of all ages) an up-close experience with the big machines we use to build parks, bridges and highways throughout Toledo and beyond,” said Kaleb Tobien, project manager at Kokosing.

From excavators and dozers to loaders and mini diggers, don’t miss a chance to play and learn—one machine at a time. The experience is included with admission.
