We will host office hours through March to answer any questions and check in on your progress -- even if you don't need extra help, stop by and say hey! We want to see what you're working on! Try to come to at least two office hour sessions. We will email you the links for those sessions in advance.
At the end of the program, we will host a Takey-Takey Makey-Makey Showcase on April 7 at 5:45 pm. This will be in person and virtual. Come meet with your fellow makers and discuss your completed projects! If you don't finish in time, you should still come -- it's a chance to show off all your hard work! Participation in the Showcase is required as part of the program.
Takey-Takey Makey-Makey is a grant funded program for 9 to 13 year olds only.
This project is supported by the Arizona State Library, Archives, and Public Records, a division of the Secretary of State, with federal funds from the Institute of Museum and Library Services.
