I am so excited to tell you about all of the cool projects that we have been working on as a result of your donations! The kids were so excited about the new items - the robotics-circuit cart has been a very big hit! \r\n\r\nWe have worked on animating and have been able to use the styluses, mice, and bags to keep all of our supplies together. We have been able to use the Chibitronics circuit materials to make circuits - we are currently reading Howl's Moving Castle in one of my middle school elective classes, and are going to make a circuit/cardboard castle to go along with the story. The glue guns and cardboard cutting tools have been amazing, and the extension hubs have meant that students don't have to lay on the ground to use their glue guns! Every donated item has been amazing and has added to our Library-Lab program!!
