SUMMARY:3D Printing 101: Exploring Cultural Heritage Through Hands-On Making
DESCRIPTION:Interested in bringing 3D printing to your library but not sure where to start? This beginner-friendly webinar introduces you to the fundamentals of 3D printing—what it is\, how it works\, and how to create meaningful programs around it. Through the lens of cultural heritage\, you’ll learn how to find or create 3D models\, clean them up using free tools like Tinkercad and Meshmixer\, and prepare them for printing in slicers like Cura. \nWe’ll explore beginner- and intermediate-level workflows\, including using photogrammetry to digitize real-world objects\, remixing ancient artifacts\, and running themed programs like “Design Your Own Amulet” or “Build a Mini Egyptian Tomb.” You’ll leave with practical tools\, step-by-step guidance\, and ready-to-run program ideas for patrons of all ages. \nBy the end of this webinar\, participants will be able to: \n\nExplain the basic steps of 3D printing\, including model creation\, cleanup\, slicing\, and printing\, using accessible tools like Tinkercad\, Meshmixer\, and Cura.\nIdentify and evaluate sources for 3D models\, including cultural heritage repositories and community platforms like Thingiverse\, and understand how to modify or remix models for educational use.\nDesign and implement beginner-friendly\, themed 3D printing programs with a cultural heritage focus—such as artifact recreation\, tomb-building\, or amulet design—for a range of age groups and library settings.\n\nAbout the Instructor \nEllyssa Valenti Kroski is the Director of Innovation & Engagement at the New York Law Institute as well as an award-winning editor and author of 77 books. She is a librarian\, a faculty member at San Jose State University\, and an international conference speaker.

SUMMARY:Bringing the Past to Life: AR and VR Tools for Cultural Programming in Libraries
DESCRIPTION:Step into the past and bring cultural stories to life—no headset required! This beginner-friendly webinar introduces libraries to the fundamentals of Augmented and Virtual Reality (AR/VR) and how these technologies can be used to create immersive exhibits and engaging programs. \nWe’ll explore easy-to-use tools like SeekBeak\, ZapWorks\, and 360° cameras to help you design interactive experiences using equipment you likely already have. Learn how to develop your first projects\, from AR posters and Merge Cube artifact exploration to 360° local history tours and virtual exhibits. Featured programs include “Myth in Motion\,” “History on a Cube\,” “Create a Virtual Exhibit\,” and “Teen Curators.” Whether you’re serving young readers or lifelong learners\, this session will equip you with practical ideas and accessible workflows to start small and make a big impact. \nBy the end of this session\, participants will be able to: \n\nDefine Augmented and Virtual Reality in simple terms and understand the differences between them in a library context.\nIdentify beginner-friendly tools and platforms for creating AR and VR experiences using phones\, tablets\, or basic 360° cameras.\nPlan and implement interactive cultural programs such as augmented posters\, virtual exhibits\, and immersive storytelling activities.\n\n  \nAbout the Instructor \nEllyssa Valenti Kroski is the Director of Innovation & Engagement at the New York Law Institute as well as an award-winning editor and author of 77 books. She is a librarian\, an adjunct faculty member at San Jose State University\, and an international conference speaker.
