Making and playing in the summertime

July 4, 2014 by Saunders Library Leave a Comment

An adventurous group gathered in the Saunders Family Library today for the first Make/Play session.  The explorers played with e-textiles, the Raspberry Pi,  Arduino, and Mousebots.  Four more Make/Play sessions are scheduled for July 10, 17, 24, and 31.  If you think you’d like to participate, contact Melanie or Allen.
