Library: Shute Park Maker Cart Programmer

Bring your creative vision to light by developing a themed maker cart to share with patrons, or engaging patrons in using the existing maker carts by providing patrons with instructions and encouragement to create a successful project.  Maker Cart programmers offer pop up programs in the Collaboratory during after school hours beginning September 2024.  Hours are Monday-Friday 2:45-5:00 PM or 4:30-7:00 PM.  Volunteers may overlap time, but sign up for only one shift segment.  Current maker cart themes include button making, puzzles, board games, needle felting, embroidery, origami, knitting, screen printing, ozobots, cubelets, scrapbooking, Lego Mindstorm, Chess, Rubik's Cubes, Friendship bracelets.  Maker Cart programmers may also design their own project to offer to patrons always with an eye on what our Collaboratory space has to use in terms of materials.  Volunteers stay in the maker space with their project while guiding patrons with instructions on how to do the project.  Instructions should be simple on a project that could be completed in a one-two hour block of time.  Instructions provided in writing and in person, and in both English and Spanish.  Volunteers creating a maker cart will be expected to make an example project and provide the instructions.  Volunteers using the current maker carts are expected to make an example following the provided instructions.
