Do you have something you want to design or print on a 3D printer? This open lab will provide access to the library's 3D printing resources including printers, filament, and design stations!

Time will be allotted for printing larger items, as well as opportunities to ask questions about the library's 3D printers or troubleshoot your own.

Interested in learning about 3D printing? Join us for an informative session about the hobby itself and the library's resources for 3D printing! The session will allow for questions and answers and patrons will be able to print a small object to take home.

Light up your bike wheels with bright LEDs so people can see you from the side. When finished, you will have a working light strip that you can attach to your bike. Soldering is necessary for this program.

Interact with the world through physical programming and basic circuits. We will be using LEDs, buttons, wires, and batteries, as well as the Raspberry Pi to make an electronic circuit version of "Hello, World".

As some typing is involved with this program, basic keyboard skills are necessary.

Learn about electricity while making simple circuits with conductive tape and dough.

Light up the night with your own constellation! Using conductive thread, LED lights, and an embroidery hoop, you will learn how to create your own star pattern. Then add a battery and see your stars shine!

Learn how motors work and how you can incorporate one in your next electronics project. We will build a simple motor to understand the principles at work before hooking up a hobby motor in a guided project that we will control with code.

As some typing is involved with this program, basic keyboard skills are necessary.

Learn how to draw beautiful and complex images with simple commands from the programming language Logo. We will be drawing lots of pictures on screen and explore basic coding concepts along the way.

Explore coding with Scratch's drag-and-drop interface. If you've never tried coding before, this is the place to start. And if you're a Scratch pro, come and show off what you can make Scratch Cat do!

Explore the wide range of electronic sensors that can be connected to a micro-board like the Arduino or Raspberry Pi. We will use reed switches, ultrasonic and optical sensors, and more.
