Makerspace: Coffee Bots at the Public Library

Date:

The Judy B. McDonald Public Library invites ages 10 and up to a Makerspace workshop on Monday, August 8 th at 5:30 p.m. Participants will design and construct a working robot from motors, sensors and basic household objects.  We’ll build these in teams and test them together in a series of challenges. Novice and experienced makers alike are welcome.  Please call 559-2970 to register.

The Judy B. McDonald Public Library is thrilled to continue and expand the Makerspace program for tweens and teens. Makers are a collaborative community of all ages who share a passion for making things and who are engaged in experimentation, innovation and creativity. The Public Library’s Makerspace merges DIY, craft, art, electronics, programming, math, science and engineering into projects for both young people and their mentors. The goal is to support and grow the Maker movement in the local community through experimental play and hands-on creativity. Look for the new space in the library!

The Friends of the Library are on Facebook (as Judy B. McDonald Public Library) and Twitter and Instagram (as @friendsofnacpl).
