We share our process of going from primarily content collection to adding in content creation. Tuesday, July 7, 2015. Starting the Arduino interactive garden mural. We are starting to paint our garden, designed and facilitated by Duxbury artist, Sally Dean, on the plastic blue partition wall. The garden elements are being 3D printed by the kids and teens and today we will begin learning from Kevin Osborn, how to write Arduino code to make the servos that power the interactivity work! What is a Makerspace?

LIBRARY AS MAKERSPACE: My new favorite 3D Printing tool
http://librarymakerspace.blogspot.com/2015/07/my-new-favorite-3d-printing-tool.html
We share our process of going from primarily content collection to adding in content creation. Wednesday, July 8, 2015. My new favorite 3D Printing tool. We tried to print an iPhone case twice and still did not get the exact measurements right because we were using a regular ruler. With the Digital Caliper, we can now get an exact reading which will help with persnickety items like a phone case. It's available through Amazon. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). What is a Makerspace? We have a staff of 20.

We share our process of going from primarily content collection to adding in content creation. Wednesday, July 23, 2014. What Does STEM look like in the Children's Room Week 3. This week we had perfect weather for some outdoor science activities! Our Mad Scientist Mondays included outdoor stomp rockets. They are very easy once you get the launchers. And edited it to fit our pipes. It is also imperative that there are no air leaks in the rocket so use lots of tape when assembling. What was interes...A few...

We share our process of going from primarily content collection to adding in content creation. Thursday, July 9, 2015. Nitty gritty details of Arduino installations. Here's one of our Arduino interactive mural installation elements. The challenge for us is to find the balance between getting our Maker-in-Residence to install a few elements to give us a sense of what is possible and "jump-start" the installation but not doing the whole thing for us. Wednesday, July 8, 2015. My new favorite 3D Printing tool.
