Program Description

Teens who register for this program are invited to join us in the library's Computer Lab where we will create 3D puzzles using Tinkercad's Codeblocks. 

Codeblocks are a Tinkercad tool which use code to create designs. This means that as teens create 3D projects, they're simultaneously learning the basics of code! Coding can be complex, but Codeblocks make things easier through the use of intuitive, non-technical language and functionality.

Participants will need to make a Tinkercad account before the program. To create your account visit www.tinkercad.com The puzzles will be 3D printed after the program. Participants will be notified when their puzzle is ready to be picked up.

During the registration window for this program, registration can be completed online below, by calling 309.590.6168, or by visiting the Adult Services Desk at the Library and registering in person.
