Creative types have a history of toiling into the wee hours of the morning for their art and inventions.
So, it comes as no surprise that the second Westport Library Maker Madness set for Saturday, March 12, will offer the same hours for creators.
The event starts at 8 p.m. and ends at 7 a.m. Sunday, March 13, library officials say.
Held throughout the library, the program features maker workshops and lots of hands-on building for children ages 11 and up, as well as adults.
The $50 fee includes a midnight pizza party and snacks throughout the event.
According to Alex Giannini, Library digital manager, highlights include: building a dragon with sculptor Chris Crowe; writing a stage play about the dragon; constructing and running through a laser maze; creating a wax seal crest; and night sky photography with the Westport Astronomical Society; .
There will also be 3D pancake printing; using a 360-degree virtual reality (VR) camera and VR demonstrations with Oculus Rift and Google Cardboard; and making “Maker Madness: The Movie.”
Those who want to volunteer to help out should contact Giannini at .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address).
