The Hays Public Library will host Tinker Tuesday at 4 p.m. every third Tuesday of the month, with the first session set for Oct. 21.

Tinker Tuesday is a program for teens to learn about technology through projects. The program was successful during the recent summer; it was held every week.

“Many of the teens were interested in keeping it going,” said Scott Rader, young adult librarian. He has been working with the IT department to coordinate a continued program.

A memorable project from the summer session was a solar-powered USB charger. Using AA batteries, an Altoid case and a solar panel, participants made their own solar-powered USB charger during two sessions.

So, what’s next? Teens will be working together to build an arcade machine. The arcade machine will have numerous video games. After completion, the machine will be located in the Trish Davies room for patron enjoyment.

Only six participants will be allowed for each session. Register with Rader at [email protected] or call (785) 623-4944.

The Dates of the program will be Oct. 21, Nov. 18, Dec. 16, Jan. 20, Feb. 17, March 17 and April 21.
