This idea would not leave me after an experience helping librarians to teach a group of adults how to use the Cricut cutting machine to make greeting cards. The program was presented in a way that invited participants to talk about ageism. It was a challenging yet overall successful program as the participants were eager to do it again! Unfortunately, the librarians were not as thrilled, so no future Cricut programs are in the works. It is too bad because we learned a lot from the experience so the next ones would be so much better!

Hi Daisy, I love that both of our programs are a product of what we have seen and done at TPL! I really do think creativity is an important part of the learning process and I’m always happy to see new ways teaching digital technologies can be done creatively!
@daisychia This touched my heart! I read recently that our population and culture here is shifting to more older folks over 65 than younger under 18 according to some data and research. I love your title: Maker Sr! and they need ideas like yours!
@libbylibbylibby it is true! Birth rates are falling and the population is aging. Thank you ❤️
