Libraries on the Move: Mobile Computing Labs Across Georgia

Statesboro Regional :

Mobile Makerspace

Cameron Asbell

Why buy Makerspace Items for individual branches when

we can pool our funds

and

Share Our Toys?

3D Printer is shared between 6 branches.

Moves first day of month to next branch.

I spend a day training anyone who

inadvertently makes eye contact with me.

Staff post scheduled demos and have

programs showing the 3D printer.

4 months in 4 branches and they all

Love it and use it.

Director said

"Go for it if you can get ALL of the managers to agree."

Mobile MakerSpace

2 Kits - each containing

6 Chromebook + 6 Makey Makeys

1 Green Screen Kit + Lights + Tripod

1 Kit -

1 Silhouette Cameo and supplies

So Far

IT TOOK SOME CONVINCING

Some branches wanted technology for programs that would sit in a closet for most of the year between programs.

Some branches just wanted me to quit talking about it and agreed.

One branch said No!

I GOT ALL OF MY IDEAS FROM BOOTCAMP

3-D Printer Overwhelmingly popular

Makey Makey Kits have been used several times

Silhouette Cameo newly circulating and used for Adult Programs in 2 Libraries

Green Screen is a new purchase and we are learning to use it and getting it ready

to go out for Summer.

We plan to add Robotics Kits, Legos and

some lucky libraries have SPLOST money and want their own 3D printer
