Our team of Makers is working to build a 3D printer out of recycled computer parts.  You can join in this project, or bring your own projects and ideas.  Maker Meetups will be held monthly, for people ages 17 and up.

Maplewood Library’s new Create Space at Hilton Branch offers a variety of high-tech equipment and software for a multitude of creative applications. The Create Space is outfitted with a Maker Gear 3D printer, a laminator and a color printer, as well as 12 Dell laptops loaded with Rhino 3D CAD and other productivity software.  There are also project kits for experimenting with electronics, circuits and programming, including Little Bits, Snap Circuits, Raspberry P+ and SparkFun Inventors Kit.
