Happy New Year from the ICS Library!

We are diving into designing and printing models in the library using the ICS MakerBot! With the help of ICS parent Ilya Berezhnyuk, who repaired the 3D printer for us, students are now able to try out this new addition to our makerspace. Students use the 3D Builder program already installed on their computers to create printable models. Some ICS students already have experience with 3D design and 3D printers, so it’s been fun to let them teach their peers and me.

Thanks again to Mr. Berezhnyuk and to all the families who have supported our library this year! Thank you also for raising amazing readers - it is a privilege to be their librarian!
