FINALE! Innovator-in-Residence: Kinetic Art Using Robotics

Join us for the finale of the Innovator-in-Residence program with Vladimir Mariano. Over the past few months, Vladimir has used the library's 3D printers and Innovation Lab resources to create kinetic projects blending mechanics, electronics, and programming.

Stop by between 3:00 PM and 6:00 PM to see his final creations and learn how 3D printing, circuitry, and robotics come together to create motion and functionality. Don’t miss the chance to ask questions and explore the world of robotics, 3D design, and technology!
