You’ve spent hours together: late night sitcom binges, getting lost on road trips, looking through your old photos… Your phone is practically your best friend. Now you can invite your phone to the library for some fun. Get to know your friends and their BFFs (i.e. their phones) with Game of Phones, the card game that puts your internetin’ skills and jam packed photoroll to good use. It’s like a scavenger hunt on your phone! Each round you and your pals take turns judging each other on your googling abilities, photo snapping prowess, social clout and much more. While you and your smartphone win the “Find your best #selfie” round with that pic you took while SCUBA diving last summer, your buddy across the table picked up the card for “Create an emoji masterpiece.” Your relationship with your phone will finally be rewarded when you win Game of Phones.
Don’t forget to bring your phone!

The Rhode Island Computer Museum is coming on Wednesday, June 29 at 1:00 pm to present Robots on the Run. This workshop for teens aims to explain basic circuits and instructions on how to build a simple robot. You will learn programmable electronics and receive instructions for making lights blink, motors run, sounds and a lot more. We’ll take time to learn about interactive software titled “Arduino” and you can create your own sample “Robot”.
If you are a gadget geek, science nerd, budding engineer or other electronics-obsessed loved one, come build a robot with us. Bring your broken electronics and we’ll take them apart with you to learn about circuits.
The presentation is part of ongoing traveling exhibits by the Rhode Island Computer Museum. This Workshop is partially supported by IEEE-USA K-12STEM Literacy Committee’s outreach program.
