At our Public library System( 3 branches) a Teen Tech time was begun at the beginning of the summer. It is at my branch to start with.
Our Computer tech guy is young so that appeals to many of the teens- especially the boys. The guys outnumber the girls in this particular case.
The first two sessions, the group built a pac- man type video game. they ended up sharing the games with the other in the group for at least three weeks. The Third session , the group learned how to produce a computerized comic strip using the Gimp program.
I am anxious to see what they will do next!
The group will be extended to the school year and will move to the branch that is closest to the High school. Hopefully the group will continue to grow. It brings more youth into the public library , helping them to become aware of all the resources we have available!
