Teens
Teen volunteers interested in the Northwest Branch Library must attend this orientation in order to begin volunteering. The orientation will last half an hour and go over the basics of volunteering at Northwest Library. Volunteers must be age 15+ and must fill out a volunteer application. You can find these applications at the front desk of the library or online.
This orientation session will introduce participants to 3D printing services within the Harris County Public Library system. Those completing the class will then be able to schedule a time to use a 3D printer at HCPL locations, during which time they will complete a short machine-specific orientation at the location of their choice. Children under 12 must be accompanied by an adult. Attendees will receive 3D Printer and Lulzbot TAZ Workhorse (machine) badges in Beanstack upon completion of orientation.
