Jaws Tangram Challenge For Curious Kids 8–12

Jaws Tangram Challenge For Curious Kids 8–12

Get ready to sink your teeth into an unforgettable puzzle adventure! At our Jaws Tangram Demonstration for ages 8–12, young explorers will take on the ultimate tangram challenge—recreating the legendary shark from Jaws, using just seven geometric shapes.

Led by visiting artist and puzzle enthusiast Doug Nufer, this hands-on session on Saturday, June 21 brings the ancient Chinese puzzle into the world of Martha’s Vineyard’s most famous movie. Kids will learn to use triangles, squares, and parallelograms to build not only sharks, but rocket ships, sea creatures, and more—unlocking creativity and sharpening problem-solving skills along the way.

Each child will receive a custom Jaws tangram set and a themed goodie bag to take home, so the fun continues even after the event ends!

Don’t miss this jaw-dropping experience—where puzzles meet predators, imagination rules, and learning comes to life.

Tickets: $25 each; Museum admission sold separately.
