Sew for Charity!

The HHS library makerspace has a busy week coming up! In addition to our MintyBoost workshop on 10/25, we also have HHS science teacher, Ms. Linder, visiting the makerspace, after school on Wednesday 10/26, to teach us basic quilt-making! In this Sew for Charity workshop, we will use machine and hand-sewing techniques to piece together individual quilt blocks, to later be assembled into blankets, and then donated to charity.

This workshop is open to all students and staff! Hope you can join us!

What is Arduino?


Bored? Need a study break? Teach yourself Arduino at the HHS Library! Kits are available to get you started.

Not sure what Arduino is? "Arduino is an open-source electronics platform based on easy-to-use hardware and software. Arduino boards are able to read inputs - light on a sensor, finger on a button, or a Twitter message - and turn it into an output - activating a motor, turning on an LED, publishing something online" (https://www.arduino.cc/).

Need some project inspiration? Check out the Arduino Project Hub!

MintyBoost Chargers at the Makerspace!

Some of the most frequently requested items at the HHS Library are chargers...so why not build your own? Never be without again!

At our next Makerspace workshop, we will be using MintyBoost kits to build our own iPhone chargers. No more having to hunt for electrical outlets to charge your phone; now you can always have one on hand! Can't make the workshop? Check out this guide or this video tutorial to create one on your own :)

Join us @ the workshop, Tuesday 10/25 during lunch blocks, or after school - all are welcome! Click here for more details.
