Making Young Makers at the Keene Public Library
World Maker Faire 2017
September 23rd-24th
In 2014, the Keene Public LIbrary in New Hampshire became a Maker Corps site. Since then we have redesigned all of our programming to incorporate making, collaboration, and playful learning. This presentation will offer highlights from our Maker programming for babies through teens.
