Ever play the board game Mouse Trap? That’s a type of Rube Goldberg Machine!
To celebrate the end of summer reading, teens are welcome to join us at the Warren Public Library’s Summer Finale Lock-in at the Miller Branch to build one themselves. Teens will have free run of the library after hours to build Rube Goldberg-like chain reaction machines with items provided by Thumble Makerspace. They will supply tubes, tracks, Q-Ba Maze marble run, and their box of bots & props to help create amazing contraptions that will do…something!
Ages 12-17. This is a parent-free, after hours event. Pizza, pop, and snacks will be served.
Registration is required, please register here or call 586.751.5377.
Come out to the Miller Library to build mini bots on the head of a toothbrush! Construct your bot, decorate it and then race yours against the other bristle bots.
Stop by the Civic Center Library for some techy, hands-on fun, including playing with the cool circuitry of a Makey Makey and littleBits!
Is winter bringing you down? Tweens and teens can join us for a few fun-in-the-sun activities at this beach party lock-in! We’ll have free run of the library to play summer games, beach volleyball, build “sand” castles, and snack on popcicles and sunny cupcakes to help forget about winter for a while.
