Tweens
Join us for our 3D Printer Orientation!
This orientation session will instruct participants on using the 3D printer in the library . Those who complete the class will then be able to request time to use a 3D printer at HCPL branches, at which time they will complete a short machine-specific orientation at the location of their choice. Attending this orientation is mandatory before patrons can request time to use a 3D printer. Attendees will receive the 3D printer and Dremel 3D45 badges in Beanstack upon completion of orientation.
Come craft a spooky geode skull! Tweens only, grades 4th-5th.
Join us for a celebration of Texas Archaeology Month with clay pinch pot kits provided by the Texas Historical Commission! Learn about Texas archaeology while making your own pot inspired by Caddo pottery traditions. All skill levels welcome, and all supplies provided. Due to limited supplies, only one pot per person.
This program is open to ages 12-17, 18 if in high school. For more information, please email virginia.gonzalez@hcpl.net.
