TLCPL Kids – Makers and Shakers!
Here are a few moments in last year’s program at West Toledo Library. The students had fun exploring various maker technologies including bristlebots and catapults. They learned the basics of programming using Scratch. And they combined their newfound building and programming experience to control robots. If there’s a student in your life who’s interested in STEM, register for the sessions and join them for the fun!
