Yesterday, we set out on a hunt-- armed with cameras we went out into the library to find items and capture them.  The prizes: galleys, and of course, glory. 

 

The gallery of photos is now available, starring and created by Jack, Stephen, EJ and Jason. 

 

To see the photos from yesterday's amazing hunt, head to our flickr!

Games we made using Scratch!

Check out these projects we made in our last workshop, taught by one of our teen experts, Matthew!

 

 

These games introduce basics such as:

  • Background images for your projects.
  • How to make sprites which are any characters or objects you use in a project.
  • How to perform an action when certain keyboard keys are pressed.
  • A simple counter to act as a control such as lives remaining.
  • How to create a simple game over.

Here's an excellent resource Matthew recommended, that has cool sprites for use in your projects called the Spriter's Resource.

To learn how to do other cool stuff, check out the tutorials page in the Scratch forums.

 

If you are interested in learning Scratch, send an email to ahylton [at] darienlibrary [dot] org and keep on the lookout for our next workshop!

The First Place winner for the Photography contest was Kate F, for her photo of a spider making it's web. 

The second prize goes to Chris B and Michael C for their collaboration on a photo of Michael reading over the fountain in front of the library.

We asked people to bring their own favorite  original photos, or to borrow our cameras and take some of their own.  These were some of the results!

Congratulations and thanks to everyone who participated.  You're all super-talented and fun.

 

 

Love for the Library

Taking a break from homework, some girls asked if they could make a video about the library.  It's awesome and pretty amazing!
