Makerspace Interest Group Meeting (8/21/18)

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

Our next meeting will be held at the Daytona Beach Regional Library on Tuesday, August 21st, from 10 am – 1 pm.  This will be a hands-on session, so get ready to have some fun!

Participants will have a tour of the newly renovated library and Rachel Robinson Play Yard.  Erica will teach green screen set up, including lighting and editing with Gimp.  Ann will teach a hands-on maker craft that can be taught to children and/or adults.  

 Looking forward to seeing everyone!
