For the past month, I have been secretly working to transform the library into a space to play and create. I f you look into the back room, you will notice that shelves have disappeared and a green screen studio has been added. You may have also noticed the boxes of gadgets that are regularly delivered to the library. It is now time for the big reveal! Beginning January 5, come into the library during lunch and play around in our new Makerspace.
What is a Makerspace?
A Makerspace is simply a place to play, explore, create, and experiment. Are you interested in learning how to make a green screen movie? We have a space for you. Do you want to learn more about robotics? Give Sphero a test run. Do you love building things? Try out our new K'nex sets. As the year progresses, we will continue to add more things for you to try.
Today fifth graders had a chance to be the first to try our new space. Here they are in action.
