Innovation Lab Grand Opening!

Beginning June 3rd, budding creators and innovators can share ideas, create robots, learn or sharpen programming skills, and build objects using 3-D printers at SPC’s new Innovation Lab. The space, located in the Seminole Community Library, provides a modern, technologically advanced version of your dad’s garage, so to speak.

The space will provide an area where people with common interests like computers, technology, science, or digital arts can socialize and collaborate on ideas and learn new skills. In SPC’s Innovation Lab, which is open to the public, visitors can learn how to program different devices, such as the Raspberry Pi, the Arduino Genuine Mega 2560 Circuit Board, the ProtoSnap LilyPad Development Board, and much more!
