First up in March is Teen Tech Week! Project Next Generation at Elmwood Park Public Library is doing our part to get teens involved in technology with a whole week's worth of classes, everyday from 4pm to 5pm.
Teen Tech Week:
March 9th (4pm - 5pm) - Makey Makey
Makey Makey's are cool kits that allow you to hook everyday objects up to computers at input devices! The possibilities of what you can do are pretty much limitless. We'll show you some cool basic ways to use a Makey Makey kit and some fun activities to try and then we'll let you try to come up with something cool and new!
March 10th (4pm - 5pm) - Hour of Code
Not only is coding massively important to the fabric of your digital world, coding can also be pretty fun! Sign up for this quick introduction to activities on Code.org and play fun games while learning the fundamentals of basic coding!
March 11 (4pm - 5pm) - Bristle Bots
What happens when you combine a toothbrush, a tiny motor and an electric current? Bristle Bots! Sign up to construct your very own Bristle Bot and then race them against your classmates!
March 12 (4pm - 5pm) - Photoshop Face Paint
Join this Project Next Generation class if you want to learn Adobe Photoshop basics. We'll use a combination of cameras, tracing on paper, and photoshop to produce a one-of-a-kind self portrait!
