Workshops

Hack your childhood by bringing your old picture book to life! We will be turning your picture books into display pieces by adding pop ups, paper circuits, color and textures. Dust off your favorite childhood book and turn it into an interactive storytelling creation. Check out our gallery for pictures of the Hack Your Childhood event we ran at the Sunnyvale Library!
