Can my 8-year-old come?

Yes, with an adult. The workshop is pitched at ages 11 and up, and younger kids join with a grown-up who registers as a participant too, so book two places.

Can I build a lamp alongside my kid?

Yes. The library says the workshop suits adults as well as kids and teens, so book your own place and make one side by side.

About

Kids build a book that lights up when it opens. With cardboard, conductive tape, four LEDs and a folded paper on/off switch, they tape down a simple paper circuit, then fold a zigzag shade that fans out into a lamp. It runs in the library's Makerspace with Volt, Paper, Scissors, a project that teaches simple electronics through paper crafts. Best for patient makers who enjoy careful folding and taping.
