MakerLAB Lite for Tweens

MakerLAB Lite is the Tween version of our Teen MakerLAB. We focus on projects that are a little easier and just right for Tweens in Grades 5-7!
 

Technology regularly used includes:

All Tweens must have a signed Minor Liability Waiver on file in order to use a 3D pen. See section below to print out a copy.

MakerLAB Waiver

All Tweens are required to have a parent/guardian to sign a Minor Liability Waiver and return it to Teen Librarian Robin before using a 3D pen in a MakerLAB Lite event. Tweens will not be allowed to participate in any MakerLAB Lite sessions with 3D pens available without a signed wavier on file.

*The MakerLAB waiver only needs to be signed once; your Tween is then covered for all future MakerLABs they attend!
