NPL MAKER CHALLENGE

JOIN the Nevada Public Library's Maker Challenge! 

Nov 1 - May 1, 2021

​

Projects are planned for youth in grades 3 - 12 and most challenges can be completed from home with either a STEAM2Go kit borrowed from the library or through our new STEM classroom, Mouse Create. 

​

Choose a category, then click a topic to choose a challenge to see the guide.

Look over the Challenge Guide to find out what supplies you will need.

​

Challenges with a (*) next to them do not require a kit & can be completed right away if you have the required supplies at home. For example, creative writing or sewing stitches. Others are online courses, so all you need is an internet connection to take the challenge at home!

​

When you complete a challenge, you can earn an entry into the monthly Mystery Maker Challenge Prize drawing, just fill out the wrap-up form. The link is at the bottom of each challenge sheet or here.

​

Some challenges are more difficult than others, just try your best!

​

Youth in grades 3rd-12th can register as a "Maker" by contacting the library. Only registered 'NPL makers' can check-out the awesome NPL STEAM2Go kits or  log into Mouse Create.

STEAM2Go Kits are limited to one kit per cardholder and the account must be in good standing with the library.
