Special Event: Bad Art Contest
Let loose your worst artistic skills by creating some ugly art at our first ever Bad Art Contest.
Crafts are often about getting everything perfect, so instead make everything as imperfect as possible. At the end of the program, the creator of the most horrendous, grotesque, or just plain bad art will take home a trophy!
Date: May 19th
Time: 4:00pm - 6:00pm
Location: Hoyt Community Room in the Sandy Library
For STEM this month we'll be using a Makey Makey, an invention kit that can turn anything conductive into a button or switch. We'll test out connecting various objects (e.g. Bananas) to the Makey Makey and use it to play games, learn a bit about coding, circuits, and conductivity. Registration is encouraged.
Date: Tuesday, May 27th
Time: 4:00 pm to 5:30 pm
