The Bozeman Public Library is proud to announce that it’s officially joining the maker movement by presenting Area 626: Make It @ BPL. This series will begin on Tuesday, May 6 at 6:30pm with a DIY Home Cleaning Products workshop. Be sure to stop in and mix up a few green cleaners to take home with you! All supplies will be provided by the Library.

Continuing on the first Tuesday of every month at 6:30pm, you can look forward to workshops hosted by the Bozeman Makerspace as well as other talented community members. If you also have a skill or craft you’d like to share, contact us at 582-2410 and let us know.

There is a “Maker Movement Launch Party” currently being planned for Tuesday, July 1 at 6:30pm. We will have various vendors showcasing everything from DIY crafts to 3D printing that will be sure to delight patrons of all ages. If you’re interested in setting up a booth, please give us a call at 582-2410.

The RSVP List is full! Looks like we may have to run another Arduino Basics class ;) I'm thinking this might even become an ongoing class offering so we can get stronger with our microcontrollers.

Class: Arduino Basics
When/Where: Sat April 26th (2pm) @ The Bozeman Makerspace

Arduino Basics
We are going to take you through the concepts including digital In, digital out, analog in, analog out, serial communication and more.

We will build several circuits using LEDs, potentiometers, buzzers, servo motors and more! If you have your own Arduino Board, bring it along, otherwise we will have a few for folks to use during the class.

This class will be kid friendly, so if you are a parent and would like to see your kids learn a little about programming and electronics, this is the class for you.

We will have a sweet door prize for one lucky participant at the end of the class.

RSVP now because space might end up being limited.

Class: How to Read a Schematic
