Project<\/strong> Description<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aside from reading, one of the ways that children learn best is through play and interaction. This cannot be done, however, if there is limited access to these devices and systems. The Pittsford Community Library\u2019s specific case had initially reflected this problem. They were interested in increasing the number of interactive elements available in their children play space, but did not have such systems readily at hand. Therefore building an interactive ball maze and filling that gap will allow for the children to engage with new, fun, and educational elements, while further stimulating their minds and sense of imagination. This will then also bring benefits to the general community in helping to positively improve everyone\u2019s experiences while visiting the library.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
