A Day of Making at Guildford Library Saturday 23 January





Join us on Saturday 23 January, 2016 at Guildford Library for the chance to try out 3D printing, robotics, electronics and other creative, interesting and fun technologies.

Have you ever wondered what 3D printing is? Or wanted to put together and control your own robot? Or maybe even wondered if you can make a banana sound like a piano? Then come along and find out during our first digital Day of Making.

This day of interactive activities will run from 10am to 3pm, is free and we welcome anyone of any age to come along and try out new technologies that will turn you from a technology user into a creator.

In the long-term, Surrey Library Service has an ambition to host a makerspace: a place where people can meet to collaborate, create, learn, and innovate, using similar technologies to those available during our Day of Making.  It is a project that would help young people, small businesses, and the local creative economy.

We are also interested in making contacts within relevant local organisations who share our vision, and to build a list of people willing to act either as steering group members or as volunteers for a possible makerspace.

If you would like to be kept in contact about our plans please email:

We've found a local volunteer to run a Code Club, and we're just waiting for their DBS check to come through. Now we need to arrange the sessions, which will probably be late-afternoon drop-in sessions for children over the summer holidays. Image provided by Stuart Miles We are also looking at running lunchtime learning sessions, where our online resource suppliers could come in a talk about their products . We've still got the ambition of running a regular Minecraft session, but have not started planning this, especially as we have so many other ideas about Digital Friday that we would like to fit into the programme.
