Open House

During Open House, I decided to set up some of the materials we have for our new MakerSpace.  I thought it would be a great opportunity for the parents to see what happens in the library and for them to encourage their children to come visit the new MakerSpace.
There were things like K'Nex, Legos, Cubelets, coloring sheets and more.  Many of the parents came in during their child's lunch period and truly enjoyed "tinkering".


Also making a debut was our Nao Robot, Rosie.  The parents really enjoyed hearing about how their children could visit the library and/or Coding and Maker Clubs to learn how to program her.  Rosie performed various tricks and it really impressed everyone.


The new MakerSpace is up and running in the main library during lunch periods for all three grades.  Feel free to come and visit to see all of the cool new things we have.  Although our MakerSpace is a little more "low-tech," it still has a lot to offer for students to try.  As interest grows, so will the various toys and materials.  I can't wait to see what our students create!
