Toms River – If you came to the "Maker Faire" at the Toms River library last year during the downtown "Harvest Fest" then you know why we are doing it again this year! It is free, creative and innovational. Come “Seek the Unknown @ Your Library” and celebrate a day of DIY culture on Saturday, Oct. 19th from 11 - 2 pm. Parking on the top deck behind the library is free on Saturdays provided by the Ocean County Library .
Geared toward the ages 12 – 18 this event can be appreciated by the whole family! Enjoy presenters such as Robodyssey and JenniCakes. There will also be 3-D printing demonstrations, Garage Band presentations, iBook presentations, and crafts.
Robodyssey's primary mission is to develop and provide instruction, instructional materials and robots and accessories to teach students the intellectual tools that they will need to be successful pursuing a degree and eventually a career in Science, Technology, Engineering and Math, or STEM. These intellectual tools include not only the specific skills of building, trouble-shooting and eventually designing electronic circuits and integrating computer software with electronic hardware for robots, but also the more universal skills of using the scientific method, developing computer code to accomplish tasks and collecting and analyzing data.
