Monday April 7: Clay Poetry - Turn poetry into art with clay! Pick a poem from a library book and choose a key element that inspires you. Then, bring it to life with your own unique air-dry clay sculpture. Let your imagination take the lead and make poetry jump off the page!
Coming Up:
Monday April 14: Robot Haiku - Create your own haiku and bring it to life with robots! Write a 5-7-5 syllable poem, then program an Ozobot to follow your poem’s rhythm. Watch as your robot moves and reacts to your words in a fun and interactive way. When finished, enter your haiku in the DC Public Library's annual Haiku Contest and earn eternal bragging rights when you win!
Monday April 21: Earth Day Engineering - Empower a more sustainable future! Engineer a design made from cardboard utilizing Makedo tools.
