NJ Makers Day at Kenilworth Library

Hands-on-stations and live demonstrations celebrate the many aspects of maker culture at Kenilworth Public Library. Come to the library on Saturday, March 10, 2018, from 10:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. to be a part of it.
Last year’s demonstrations included 3D printing, robotics, spinning and weavings, and circuitry. The maker movement in the United States isn’t just a hobby; it’s having a significant impact on school curriculum development and growing local economies.
To celebrate making and maker culture, residents throughout New Jersey will come together in libraries, schools, museums, homes, and other community locations. NJ Makers Day is designed to be a statewide event that celebrates, promotes, and in many cases may introduce maker culture, as well as the values associated with making, tinkering, and STEM-based learning. In 2015, the inaugural NJ Makers Day drew over 13,000 individual attendees to 130 participating sites across all 21 counties in the state.
Maker spaces across the state are having a significant impact on education and job skills development by providing access to people, information, resources, and tools that facilitate making to a wide variety of skill levels. NJ Makers Day allows communities to share hands on programming opportunities, demonstrations and displays, and the expertise of the individuals and organizations that make, create, and develop right in their own backyards.
