Adventure Pass Ending in 2025

Due to circumstances outside of our control, the Des Moines Public Library’s Iowa Adventure Pass service will no longer be available in 2025. Any reservation already made for 2025 will be honored, but we encourage anyone with a current reservation to print those passes immediately. Customers can make new reservations for passes that must be used by December 31, 2024. We hope to reintroduce the service at a later time, and we apologize for the inconvenience.

Program Description

Event Details

STEAM Cart Challenge: Construct a moving structure that can hold a flag and move the flag up and down.

We will have paper and materials to make your own personal flag and using the materials from our STEAM cart, we will use construction techniques and components to create a moving structure. We will explore the science of wave motion through the construction and testing of their own miniature flag waver devices. By understanding the principles behind the movement of flags, participants will gain insight into concepts such as inertia, wind dynamics, and the properties of materials
