Cleveland Public Library's Tech Central Comes to Collinwood

TechCentral Coordinator, Sam Tripodis introduces Cleveland Public Library's new MakerSpace.

     In celebration of Teen Tech Week, and this year’s theme, “Do-It-Yourself @ your library,” several classes had the opportunity to learn about Cleveland Public Library’s new Tech Central – Maker Space.  Tech Central Coordinator, Sam Tripodis visited Collinwood High School and spoke with students about the many free state-of-the-art technology resources and classes available at the facility, located in the Louis Stokes Wing of CPL’s main branch. He described Tech Central – Maker Space as a place where CPL and CLEVNET member library card holders can explore, design, create and innovate.  Students were fascinated when Mr. Tripodis demonstrated the 3-D printer and some examples of its capabilities. 

     Arrangements for this program were coordinated by media specialist, Gail Greenberg, in collaboration with teachers, Christopher Kraska, Joyce Dorbish, and Teddy Mwonyonyi.
