Join us this evening to get another sneak peak at some of the exciting things our new Makerspace has on offer! We’ll have some things you can test out and others that are still in preview mode! Check out our preschool-level circuitry sets, micro:bit and Rokit Smart coding and robotics kits, Cricut 4 cutting machine for crafty projects, and iPads for drawing, design, editing, and more!
We’re also looking forward to hearing from you about which pieces of equipment you’d like to learn to use first. As we plan out the the future of the Makerspace, we’d love to hear from our future Makers!
All ages will find something to do and learn!

When Randy Liberty was seven years old, he traveled to the Maine State Prison to visit his incarcerated father. Forty years later, he returned to the prison as its Warden. A trailblazer in the field of corrections, Randy introduced innovative programs and dramatically reduced the use of restrictive housing during his tenure as warden.
In 2019, Randy was appointed commissioner of corrections, implementing an operating philosophy known as the Maine Model of Corrections. Representing a radical shift from traditional models of incarceration, it focuses on rehabilitation, redemption, de-stigmatization, and humanization. Statewide recidivism rates since dropped to twenty-one percent, well below the national average of sixty-five percent.
Randy’s book tells this story: how he was able to break free from generational incarceration and poverty to achieve redemption and a life filled with purpose.
