STEAM Projects To-Go brings a new project for February! STEAM Projects To-Go are created for busy teens, grades 6 to 12, who still want to engage with library programming and their community. This month’s project will explore paper engineering – the branch of engineering that deals with the use of physical science and life sciences in combination with mathematics to convert raw materials into useful paper products and co-products. The project will be to create a paper structure that can hold weight. Further, it will inspire teens to take it one step further with a list of extension projects.
Each Steam Project To-Go includes supplies needed for the project, instructions, information about the theme, a library book related to the theme, and ideas for more projects. If you are interested in getting a STEAM to-go project, register at the library’s website (mattapoisettlibrary.org) on the calendar, or by calling the library. You can register at any time between now and February 28. Once you have registered, you will be contacted to arrange pick up (library card required). If there are no spots left, please register for the waiting list.
This month, the library is also continuing to offer Dungeons and Dragons on Zoom! Recommended for patrons ages 12 and up. New players are always welcome. Join us on Saturday, February 6, and Saturday, February 20, from 1:00 pm – 3:00 pm as we unravel the mysteries haunting the landscape of River’s Corner. If you are interested in signing up for both or one of those dates, visit our website (mattapoisettlibrary.org) or call the library for more information.
Please contact Michelle Skaar at mskaar@sailsinc.org or call the library. All programs are free and open to the public.
