Part I
About this event
Maker Mondays at the Martin Luther King Branch are a fantastic opportunity for teens to dive into creative projects in the library's new makerspace. This drop-in event encourages exploration and hands-on learning, making it a perfect after-school activity. Whether you're into tech, crafts, or just curious, there's something to spark your interest.
The makerspace is designed to be a welcoming environment where you can experiment with different materials and techniques. It's a casual setting, so you can come with friends or make new ones while you're there. With no registration required, it's easy to swing by and see what you can create.
From the organizer
On Maker Mondays, drop in for a library led activity in our new makerspace.
Getting in
Drop in anytime — no commitment needed
Who'll Be There
Teens aged 13-18, likely a mix of students and young creatives. Individuals interested in hands-on activities and learning new skills. Possibly some parents or guardians accompanying younger teens.
Part II · The feel
The details organizers don't always put in the description — pulled from the room, the crowd, and what people remember afterward.
Library rules. Whispers and a calm body — this is not a talking-out-loud room.
Low-key. You can show up alone, sit back, and receive. No pressure to mingle or perform.
