NOVAC: BR is partnering up with your library to bring FREE filmmaking summer camps to teens, grades 6-12!

Through the hands-on process of creating a video under the guidance of an experienced local filmmaker, students

will learn the basics of video production, including design, storyboarding, production, post-production, effects and

more. This year, we'll be making films to celebrate the Baton Rouge bicentennial. The final projects from each camp

will premiere at Main Library in the large auditorium on July 27th. Teens may only sign up for one Week-Long

Summer Film Camp.

Mindful Crafts and Movement:

put your new knowledge into practice with some light Aromayoga.

CD Scratch Art:

June 21, 3:00 pm What to do with all those old, unused CDs and CD ROMs? Create art out of them! Transforming old technologies

into new works of art is one of the ways you can help to “Build a Better World.”

LEGO® Mindstorms: Day 1

Let’s build a robot! There are several different designs you can make with a LEGO® Mindstorms Kit. Come back

Program the robot you made yesterday to successfully run obstacle courses.

Front Yard Bikes:

July 6, 3:00 pm

Bike riding is a fun summertime activity and a mode of transportation that helps save the Earth! But what do you

do when the bike breaks down and you don’t have much money? Fix it yourself! Dustin LaFont from Front Yard

Bikes will teach us how to make simple and cheap bike repairs.

Teen Chess Tournament:

July 8, 2:00 pm

Are you a beginning chess player who just learned how all the pieces move? Or are you a chess expert who has

been playing chess your entire life? Players of all skill levels are welcome to participate in Eden Park Branch

Library’s 2nd annual Teen Chess Tournament for some friendly competition. Refreshments will be provided.

Prizes will be awarded.

Do You Know Arduino? Part One:

July 12, 2:30 pm

Have you wanted to try a big Arduino project, but you didn’t have the materials, time, or skills? Over three

meetings, work with other teens to build and program a clock that writes out the time on a dry-erase board. The

process will also include submitting designs to the East Baton Rouge Parish Library’s 3D printer.

Breakout EDU: Time Warp:

July 18, 3:00 pm

You’ve been locked in a room with several other teens. There is only one way out. There is a box in that room

with the way out locked within it. There are several locks. You will have to use the clues and your skills to learn

the combinations to those locks. Hurry up or you will be locked in there forever! Mwahahahaha!

Do You Know Arduino? Part Two:

July 19, 2:30 pm

Use 3D printed pieces and an Arduino to build a clock that writes out the time. This is the 2nd meeting in a 3

meeting project. The project will be completed during the third meeting. Attendance at the other meeting is not

required.

Mindful Crafts and Movement:

Increase awareness, inner peace and mindfulness while making a Mandala. After the craft, do some energizing

and easy yoga stretches and Sun Salutations.

Do You Know Arduino? Part Three:

Complete the Arudino project by programming the clock to write out the time. You will also get the chance to

play around with 3D pens to create your own piece of 3D art.

Celebrate the end of Summer Reading with a pizza party! Have fun and relax with games, puzzles, crafts, and of
