SECOND SATURDAY S.T.E.M. LAB
We took a couple photos of our Second Saturday S.T.E.M. Lab using Ozobots to teach children about technology. Ozobots are pocket-sized robots kids can “program” to move certain ways by using a series of colors. This is best displayed in these two photos.
Here’s a photo of the whole group at our first Ozobots S.TE.M. Lab.

I would like to say Mr. Gary is just a wonderful person. From my first trip to the Library he showed my children and I the center so when we come in we wont feel like we’re lost : ( He was just great!! Today I came in to pick up books I ordered and he knew who I was and why I was there. I am smiling as we speak. That made my day. Thank you so much, and I and the children (enjoy) coming in.
