Makerspace Interest Group Meeting (5/15/18)

Let's get together every quarter to share ideas for creating and innovating in Library Makerspaces. 

Our next meeting will be held at NEFLIN on Tuesday, May 15, from 9 am – Noon.  This will be a hands on session, so get ready to have some fun!

To begin, Erica Davis will present a tech session about programming with
Ozbots.   By the end of this session you will have a basic understanding
of what and how an Ozobot works. You will also be going back to your
libraries with a ready to launch Ozobot program and a full understanding
of how to run that program. You will even get a script of what to say!

Next, Robyn Doppke, Of City College Gainesville, will show us the new
Cricut Maker in action and tell us about the Cricut Design space.
To end our session, Ann Collins will lead us in a make and take craft
project.

 Looking forward to seeing everyone!
