Join us for a
DooDad workshop or Event!
⚙️ Take It Apart. Build It Up. ⚙️
Exciting news! Four Doodad workshops are scheduled in November hosted by Hillsborough County Public Libraries and led by eSmart Recycling.
In these free 1-hour workshops, student artists (2nd – 8th grade) learn about ecological awareness and deconstruct an obsolete tech component—safely and step by step—then use their discoveries as building blocks to construct their very own Doodad sculpture at home to enter into this year’s competition.
It’s a hands-on chance to experiment, tinker, and create, with plenty of guidance and encouragement along the way!
A limited number of seats are available and registration start dates vary by library location. Please see below and plan ahead!
