Robots and libraries. They’re not a natural combination most of the time but where San Diego Central Library (CL) is concerned, they’re hand in glove. That’s because the CL has embraced making as just another way of delivering on their mission of providing learning resources to the community. In that context why not have robots in the library?
On Robot Day 30 maker exhibitors ranging from quadcopter flyers to robot competition teams to Maker Faire San Diego had booths. In addition there were 15 hands-on exhibits where people could build brush bots or construct bridges. It was a fabulous day which brought more people to the library than any day since it’s opening day 18 months ago.
Check out this delightful little video done by Team Rise of Hephaestus:
Me? I was asked to manage the stage whereon eight speeches were given. Presenters ranged from 5D Robotics to RD Builders, to The League of Amazing Programmers, to the Qualcomm Robotics Incubator. My role as MC saw fun and I was pleased to have played a role in yet another big step forward for the Central Library.
