DHMP Library's STEAM Challenge Page

See what fun STEAM challenges are happening in our library!

A Valentine for Achilles (A Gift of Love) : The DHMP Library's 2nd STEAM Challenge!

Achilles is Ms. K's bulldog, and the library's mascot. He's a great ambassador for DuPont Hadley because, after all, we ARE the BULLDOGS!!!! Achilles got some bad news recently: he's losing his feeling in his back legs, and he's likely going to become paralyzed in his hind quarters. 

The DHMP STEAM Team is on it! They have accepted the challenge of designing a DIY doggy wheelchair for Achilles.  We can't wait to see what they come up with!
