Program Description

Event Details

Technology

Expand your knowledge of the latest technological innovations.

Join us on Monday, August 21, at 5PM for a tour of the Idea Box, Manitowoc Public Library’s makerspace. The Idea Box is full of amazing technology that allows for endless creative expression. Staff will provide live demonstrations of some of the equipment, tell you how to get trained to use them yourself, and answer your questions about the makerspace.

Among the equipment that will be shown are the 3D Printer, 3Doodler Pens, and the Glowforge. You’ll also hear about upcoming devices like the Sound Booth.

All ages are welcome and registration is not required.

Come see some of the fantastic projects made in the makerspace or create something yourself! Participants who wish to use the equipment must fill out a waiver and meet age requirements. Staff will be available from 5PM - 7PM for assistance so drop by anytime during the program.

This is not a Badging Session, rather it is an introduction to what’s available. To see current Badging Sessions, please visit our website at https://www.manitowoclibrary.org/services/idea-box-makerspace

We hope to see you on Monday, August 21, at 5PM so you can experience first-hand the remarkable creative opportunities available to you in the Idea Box.
