PORT ANGELES — Young participants in “Makey Makey” invention clinics at Clallam County public libraries this fall will be building musical instruments and a magnetic maze.
The free workshops are for youths 10 to 14 years old.
The labs are planned at:
■ Clallam Bay Library, 16990 state Highway 112 — 1 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 27
■ Forks Library, 171 S. Forks Ave. — 2:30 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 28.
■ Port Angeles Library, 2210 S. Peabody St. — 3 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 3.
The Makey Makey program is a toolkit that allows inventors of all skill levels to turn everyday objects into touchpads that are compatible with online programs and games.
During the workshops, participants will build interactive objects using the Makey Makey kit.
The Washington State Library is lending kits to more than 20 libraries throughout the state.
Space in each lab is limited, so preregistration is required. To register, visit www.nols.org or email youth@nols.org specifying which lab you’d like to attend.
