More fun at the St. George Library Maker Space
Your reception and participation at the St. George Library Maker Space has been overwhelmingly positive. We're already seeing patrons becoming regular attendees to working on their own projects, as well as projects we have here at the space. We could not be more excited by the possibilities opening up before our eyes, and it's you that's making this happen.
We're on YouTube! Many of you saw the Maker Space's debut video showing off the new space. New video content will be posted there in the coming months so if YouTube is your thing, be sure to subscribe. Did you know, if you watch our debut video with one eye looking through sunglasses, and the other eye unshaded, due to something called the Pulfrich effect, the video will appear to be 3D? Give it a try.
New 3D Printing certification times added
As certification is required to use the equipment, there's high demand for certification classes. So we'll be adding additional 3D printing certification classes. These will be on Saturday morning at 11AM and will continue to run at that time while there is demand.
New Handout Flier
To answer common questions people have when visiting the space, the following fliers will be available.
