NJ Makers Day

Join in the NJ Maker Day Event at the Parsippany Main Library and the Lake Hiawatha Branch Library on Saturday, March 25.

NJ Makers Day is designed to be a statewide event that celebrates, promotes, and in many cases may introduce maker culture, as well as the values associated with making, tinkering and STEM-based learning.

Makerspaces across the state are having a significant impact on education and job skills development by providing access to people, information, resources, and tools that facilitate making to a wide variety of skill levels. NJ Makers Day allows communities to share hands-on programming opportunities, demonstrations and displays, and the expertise of the individuals and organizations that make, create, and develop right in their own backyards.

What is the Makerspace at the Parsippany Library?
The Makerspace is a designated area in the Parsippany Library for the community to use to create and design projects. Projects can include creating music, photos, videos, scrapbooks and much more using equipment all available to you! The equipment includes a Laminator, Epson Photo Scanner, Scan-N-Cut Machine, Apple MacBook Pro, Chroma Key Green Screen, Samson Meteor Mic USB Studio Microphone, Casio Portable Keyboard, GoPro Hero 2Video Camera, iPod Touch, and a Brother Sewing machine!
