The Event

Poster for Button Maker ActivityNot everything "maker" is high tech. Low tech skills are important to have, too. With this idea in mind, our first MakerMinds event of the Spring 2018 semester is a button-pin making activity.  On Tuesday, February 13 between 12 noon and 2 PM in the Library's MakerMinds Space on the 6th Floor of the Goodman Building, you can make your own button-pins. Bring magazines, original art, and more.
