As we continue to watch educational developments in STEM, we’re planning new curriculum content to share with our community.  Last week we gave you a sneak peak at the Introduction to Engineering using K’NEX® curriculum, currently in the design phase.  This week, we would like to announce Adobe Illustrator.  This two-hour class will cover all the essential tools as participants learn to design their own logo and business card.  So whether you are an artist intrigued by designing in a digital art space or a small business owner who needs a striking logo, join us for this class, coming in June to the Orlando Public Library.

Our 3D Printing workshops  at the Orlando Public Library, featuring the MakerBot Replicator 2, continue to be well attended and by popular demand we now offer the workshops at level one and level two.  If you are planning to attend, to assure your seat in the workshop, please register early.  You will have the opportunity to design in Autodesk’s 123D Design software and see our 3D printer in action.  Attend level 1 on Saturday, April 6 at 11:30am and then on Saturday, April 20 level 1 at 10am and level 2 at 11:30am.  If Sunday is a more convenient day, register for the level one on April 28 at 4pm.

Check us out next week to see what other innovative projects we’re working on!

There’s only one thing cooler than using a computer program and that is creating one. In our Introduction to Computer Programming class, explore the world of computer programming in a hands-on development environment that helps make programming easy to master. Or take our Introduction to Mobile Web App Development to create your own mobile Web app with an easy to use application that simplifies mobile development.

Do you love video games? Well then, it’s time to create your own! In our Create a Video Game series, you can create a 2D or 3D video game. Seats are limited, so register soon. Don’t miss these great classes coming in April to the Orlando Public Library.

Don’t miss Teen Tech Week, coming to the Orlando Public Library in March.  On Tuesday, March 12, create awesome 3D shapes and watch our MakerBot Replicator 2 3D printer in action.  Want to make your own video game?  Game Factory, on Wednesday, March 13, will get you started.  On Thursday, March 14, come build a flying saucer or a sound alarm with our Snap Circuits Electronics kits.  All events take place at 4pm.  Spaces are limited, so register soon with your Orange County Library Card in good standing.  For out-of-county residents, there will be a $10 charge per person per workshop.
