County Library Hosts Bristlebot Craft for Teens

WOODBINE — The Cape May County Library invites tweens and teens in grades 6-12 to a technology crafting session featuring Bristlebots that will be held at 2:30 on Tues., May 10, at the Woodbine Branch library, 800 Monroe Avenue, Woodbine.
Make your own Bristlebot robot from the head of a toothbrush, a battery, and a small motor. Teen library staff will show you how and give you all the supplies you need. After the robots are finished, there will be a tabletop robot race to top off the session.
Open to Grades 6-12. No one younger can participate. Coloring sheets will be provided for younger siblings. NO REGISTRATION REQUIRED. Just show up! Look for our take-home craft in our local branch’s teen space, too! All teens can visit and use all branches of the Cape May County Library.

“Once again, younger siblings will be provided with an activity while the teen is able to participate in this crafting session along with his or her peers, ” added Mayor Pikolycky. “We are particularly pleased to see that this craft combines with technology to produce a robot that the participant with personally construct. After the teens have constructed their Bristlebots, they’ll be able to race them across the tabletop. It should be a lot of fun to watch them go! (And maybe the younger siblings can join in to cheer their “family robot” on.”
