SUMMARY:Coding with Python - A Six-Week Course
DESCRIPTION:The Richard Montgomery High School robotics team\, Rocket Robotics\, is excited to offer a free\, 6-week coding course for middle school students\, designed to introduce beginners to the fundamentals of programming and spark interest in programming and robotics. This hands-on course will cover the fundamentals of coding using one of the most popular programming languages\, Python. Students will receive guided instruction over the 6-session course which will help them understand key concepts (such as basic Python syntax\, working with and manipulating data\, control structures like loops and if statements\, and creating reusable methods) and prepare them to further advance their coding skills. \nExperienced high school mentors will guide the participants\, providing personalized support and encouragement. With each session building on the last\, students will not only gain a solid foundation in Python programming that they can apply in robotics and other coding projects\, but also the confidence to explore further in the world of technology and robotics. Whether you’re new to coding or looking to strengthen your skills\, this course will provide a supportive and engaging environment to get started with Python. \nStudents are requested to bring their own laptop computers if possible. If they cannot\, a limited number of laptops will be available for student use during the course. \nClass is offered on 10/15\, 10/22\, 10/29\, 11/5\, 11/12\, 11/19

SUMMARY:Custom Engraved Leatherette Journals
DESCRIPTION:In this beginner-friendly class\, we will utilize our laser engravers to mark a custom design of your own onto a custom leatherette journal! Color variations of the journals are highly limited and will be given out on a first come\, first served basis.

SUMMARY:AI IRL: Real Talk for Teens
DESCRIPTION:AI IRL: Real Talk for Teens is a four-session discussion series built around real AI headlines. Each session starts with a short news story\, separates fact from myth\, introduces one practical skill to try\, and opens the floor for conversation guided by teens’ questions. \nParticipants build practical\, responsible AI habits: verifying claims and sources\, recognizing bias and misinformation\, writing task-appropriate prompts\, crediting AI assistance when required\, and protecting privacy online. The final session includes a look at AI’s environmental impact\, tying into this year’s Maryland STEM Festival theme of ENERGY. \nEach session stands alone\, so participants can attend any or all and leave with something they can use right away for schoolwork\, early work experiences and resumes\, creative projects\, or daily life. Phones and laptops are welcome\, and snacks are provided. \nEvent runs from 10/22 through 11/12

SUMMARY:Paranormal Librarians
DESCRIPTION:Join us at the La Plata Branch after hours for a hands-on ghost hunting experience! Participants will learn the methods used by professional paranormal researchers\, including how to operate equipment such as EMF detectors\, spirit boxes\, dowsing rods\, audio and video recorders\, and trigger objects. \nWe’ll begin with an overview of how the tools work and best practices for conducting a respectful and thorough investigation. Then\, once the library has grown dark\, we’ll explore both the downstairs meeting room and the upstairs adult section\, using what we’ve learned to investigate possible paranormal activity. \nAfter the investigation\, participants will rotate through stations to review audio and video recordings\, analyze data\, and practice techniques for documenting—or debunking—potential findings.
