Learn to Laser Cut

Learn the basics of designing on a Glowforge Laser Cutter! How does it work? What sites and tools can you use to find and design prints? Can the same machine really make a messenger bag, create a Settlers of Catan game board, and engrave my drawings on wood? (Hint: Yes.) Participants will use the skills they learn to create and print their own design.

For Freedoms Sign Project

This year, the teens of Brookline participated in the For Freedoms 50 State Initiative.

While most political decisions are being made by adults, these lawn signs represent the hopes of Brookline's teens for their lives, their communities, their country, and their world. Stop by and see them in front of the Brookline Village Library!

Generously Sponsored by the Friends of the Brookline Public Library. Created in partnership with the Public Schools of Brookline and the Brookline Teen Center.
