This orientation session will introduce participants to 3D printing services within the Harris County Public Library system. Those completing the class will then be able to schedule a time to use a 3D printer at HCPL locations, during which time they will complete a short machine-specific orientation at the location of their choice. Children under 12 must be accompanied by an adult. Attendees will receive 3D Printer and Lulzbot Mini 2 (machine) badges in Beanstack upon completion of orientation.
Bring in your old kpop albums, photocards, and merch to trade with other fans! Any new or gently used items that other folks might be interested in are welcome, no restrictions on groups or artists. We will also have a free photocard decoration station!
Participants determine what they consider to be a fair trade for their items. Please note that per county policies, no buying or selling can take place at Harris County facilities. Trades must be item-for-item or given as gifts.
