"Awesome" Eco-bots/ Forensics 101: What's that?



Last night's robotics program with Trent Schriefer from the 4-H program through the University of Maine Cooperative Extension was a huge success!  We had such fun.  Here are some pictures of the small eco-bots we made (mostly from toothbrushes, a battery, and a pager motor).  After making the, we had the challenge of using them to clean up a pretend oil spill (think brown rice!). 

  







Next week we'll explore Forensics with Detective Nelsen!  I can't wait.  The session is full, but you can get on a wait list by calling the library or stopping by the Youth Services room.




What is Forensic Science anyway? Detectives and police officers and other criminal investigators use science and technology to figure out people, places, and things that are involved in criminal activity.

 Have you seen the show “CSI: Crime Scene Investigation”?  On the show, members of the Las Vegas Police Department use physical evidence to solve grisly murders.






On July 17th, from 6:30-7:30, you can join Scarborough’s own Detective Nelsen as he shows examples of how crime scene investigation works.  How cool is that?

 
We are full at the moment , but you can sign up to be on the waiting list by dropping by the Youth Services room or calling us at 883-4723 option3.

Check this blog for more news about summer reading and the very exciting  programs we’re offering for YOU.  See you at the library!

Happy reading,
Connie
