Superior and Nelson Libraries will each host one of the Innovation Studios makerspace in the next few months. This project hosted by the public libraries is to support community engagement and participatory learning experiences by providing access to technology and innovative learning tools not readily accessible locally.
The Nebraska Library Commission was awarded a National Leadership Grant by the Institute of Museum and Library Services for this partnership project with the University of Nebraska Lincoln, Nebraska Innovation Studio, Nebraska Extension, Regional Library Systems and local public libraries.
The Studio has 6 stations with a 3-D printer, Universal Laser Cutter, Graphtec CE6000-60 Vinyl Cutter, Carvey Inventables CNC Router, Bernette Embroidery Machine, and a EnduraPress Heat Press and Epson WF 3260 Printers. The Kits include Lego Mindstorms, Laminators, Arduino Starter Kit, SparkFun Inventor’s Kit, Makey Makey, Camera and Video Creator( with green screens), Audio/Music Kit (record your own music), Weller Soldering Kit, and a Button Maker Kit.
