Wellington STEMgage Challenge Set for November 15 |
Wellington Branch Library plans science and engineering challenges for ages 7–11 |
Wellington families can put a little science and friendly competition into their Sunday plans with the STEMgage Challenge at Wellington Branch Library.
The program is scheduled for Sunday, November 15, 2026, from 2 to 3:30 p.m. Eastern, in the branch Meeting Room.
It is designed for children ages 7–11, with challenges focused on creativity, teamwork and problem-solving through science and engineering concepts.
For a child who enjoys figuring things out, the appeal is a defined afternoon activity built around tackling a challenge rather than simply watching a presentation.
The venue is 1951 Royal Fern Drive, keeping the outing close to home for Wellington families.
Check the event page before heading out, and contact Children and Teen Services if you need clarification about attendance arrangements, accessibility or adult supervision.
The listing provides 561-904-2386 and welcats@pbclibrary.org for program questions.
No registration-required notice was displayed on the event page when checked; families should still confirm any updated instructions rather than assuming attendance is guaranteed.
The announcement does not name particular experiments, building materials or prizes, so plan around the advertised science-and-engineering theme rather than a promised project.
A useful conversation afterward is to ask what your child tried, what changed and how the group approached a problem together.
The branch lists Sunday opening hours of noon to 5 p.m., while this program itself runs for 90 minutes.

I appreciate the note that the photos do not show the actual event. It helps to know we should not expect the materials pictured.
My grandson likes figuring out why a design did not work the first time. A challenge focused on trying ideas sounds right up his alley.
He sounds like a great fit for a challenge built around problem-solving. Asking what he changed after a first try could make for a fun conversation afterward.
Ninety minutes seems like a good length for a problem-solving activity. It gives the kids time to work together without taking up the whole afternoon.
It is good that families are reminded to ask about adult supervision. That is something I would need to know before taking my niece.
Janelle C.Same here. I would want to know whether adults stay in the room or can browse nearby.
The attendance details seem a little uncertain if registration is not mentioned. I would check with the library before bringing a group of children over.
I like that the children will work on a challenge instead of sitting through a presentation. My son usually learns more when he gets to try things himself.
The age range is useful to have up front. My six-year-old would be interested, but we will wait for a program meant for younger children.
The Royal Fern Drive location makes this an easy outing for us. A science activity close to home is welcome, especially on a Sunday afternoon.
I wish the listing said what materials the children will use. My son would want to know whether the challenge involves building something before we make plans.
It is helpful to know the Wellington Branch Library is open until 5 on Sunday. Families could stay and look for books after the challenge ends.
My daughter is in the 7 to 11 age range and likes building things with other kids. The teamwork part sounds like something she would enjoy.
The Sunday afternoon time works well for families who have busy Saturdays. I appreciate knowing the STEMgage Challenge lasts 90 minutes, so we can plan the rest of our day.
Thanks for reading! The 2 to 3:30 p.m. Program leaves a little room in the afternoon, and the branch lists Sunday hours from noon to 5 p.m.
