Las Vegas, NV (January 3, 2018) - The Teen Tech Center at the Clark County Library is stocked with more high-tech gizmos, gadgets and thingies than even the most savvy kid could covet, from computers stuffed with graphics, animation and editing software to a DJ station, robotics equipment, a recording studio and … a sewing machine like Mom’s?Sure, says Megan Nykodym, the library’s teen services department head.
“What we’ve noticed is a lot of kids want to know about fashion design and don’t know where to start,” she explains. “So not only will students be able to learn how to use a sewing machine, but there’s all sorts of software and hardware (used in) the process of designing and creating clothing.”
Nykodym said one goal of the center — which is free to students from eighth grade through high school — is to encourage teens to explore tech careers they may not even know exist. In the meantime, they’ll have a chance to explore what happens when their own creativity intersects with high-tech tools.
