Teen Tech Week 2010
Posted by fcpltech on March 3, 2010
Teen Tech Week 2010 is next week, March 8-13. The 2010 theme – Learn Create Share @ your library – fosters teen creativity and positions the library as a physical and virtual place for safe exploration of the many types of technology available at libraries, including DVDs, music, gaming, video production, online homework help, social networking, tech workshops, audiobooks and more.
During Teen Tech Week, we’re excited to debut programs and workshops featuring Digi-Dock®.
Digi-Dock® is a so-called “dock where we keep equipment that includes a mobile sound recording lab with microphones, amps, mixer, speakers, etc., which will be used for recording events that take place in Skanta Theatre, Harry’s Coffee Bar, or anywhere else in the library. Digi-Dock® also includes 2 studio-ready laptop computers with Adobe Creative Suite and FL Studio. With the laptops and the software we will be able to hold workshops to create animations, publications, movies, sound creations and more!
Also during Teen Tech Week look for the unveiling of the new Frankfort Library Gaming Collection.
To wrap up Teen Tech Week, the Frankfort Library will have a Game Night Lock-In on Friday, March 12 from 6-9 pm. A Wii game console will be available, but we encourage others to bring their gaming consoles and favorite games (rated E only, please) for more fun. Board games and other activities will also be available.
So get locked in the library and “Get Connected” during Teen Tech Week!
Funding provided by an LSTA Innovation grant funded by the Institute of Museums and Libraries Services and administered by the Indiana State Library.
