BELS CC Meeting and Maker Workshop

The upcoming meeting and workshop will take place in the New Milford Public Library (meeting agenda below). We will be starting a bit earlier than usual, as requested, at 9:30am.

At 11 we plan to start the Maker Workshop which will include both exploration of the BELS MakerKits and training in the Engineering Design Process for our participation in NJ MakersDay. We will be joined by Doug Baldwin, the Piscataway Public Library’s Emerging Technology Librarian who is also the project leader for this statewide event which incorporated over 130 participating sites in 2015.
