On Monday, April 25, the Imperatore Library hosted a Marble Madness Challenge for students and teachers. Given some loose guidelines and an open array of materials, participants were encouraged to build a creative, elaborate track that moved slowly or defied gravity in some way. Each group used different supplies and imagined unique paths so no two marble runs were the same. Check out the video below to see some of them in action.
If you weren't able to make it, don't worry because we will host more events like this in the future! If you have an idea for a future event, speak with a member of the library or computer services department. Thank you to everyone that participated in this event!
