Half Hollow Hills Public Library
(Ellen Druda, Digital Services Supervisor) Librarian Ellen Druda, from the Half Hollow Hills Community Library, will demonstrate a 3D printer and the prosthetic hands made by student volunteers. The Half Hollow Hills Community Library began working with the E-Nable Community Foundation in 2015 after being inspired by an email from a college student looking to do a volunteer project with our 3D printer. A well-attended kick off program lead to teens assembling assistive hands for community service, which are then passed along to E-Nable, and distributed where they can do the most good. The project brings together goals that Long Island LEADS holds dear: STEM education, maker skills, empathy, technology, team work, and adding value to the global community. Best of all – it’s “do-able” for librarians and teachers on a small or large scale!" |

Paperplay
(MaryAnn Scheblein-Dawson, Certified Zentangle Teacher) Paperplay will be presenting activities featuring both Origami and Zentangle®. Origami is the art of folding paper. It’s math that you can hold in your hand! And Zentangle is a method of drawing that helps people to relax and de-stress. There’s no wrong way to do it and anyone who can print their name already has all the skills necessary. Both are fun, intergenerational activities that can be shared by all members of the family, 7-70. And both use simple, inexpensive, readily available supplies. You can even do them as green, recycling projects! |
