Homework Help!
Tuesdays-Thursdays from 4:15-6 p.m. Winchester Library offers an After School program helping students with homework and online schooling courses. The library provides a volunteer who spends the afternoon assisting students with homework and school projects. |
The City of Winchester recently gave Winchester Community Library $200 to spend on STEM gear for the branch. Here's what Chris has purchased - come in and try these out for yourself! All ages welcome - bring a friend!
Ozobots are small robots with sensors along the bottom that read colors (red, green, blue, black) and can be programmed in two ways:
1. Offline with paper and markers 2. Digitally with block/drag and drop code on iPads, desktop computers, and most laptop computers. 
Snap Circuits comes with over 55 pieces to create 175 different electronic projects. The pieces include snap wires, a color changing LED, Glow-in-the-dark propeller, infrared receiver, strobe IC and much, much more. They all snap together easily on the included plastic grid -- no soldering required. Each piece is numbered and color-coded to make identifying them easy. These components combine to create working circuit boards just like the ones found inside televisions, radios, and other electronic devices.
BOOKS OF LOCAL INTEREST - Winchester resident, Gary Bond, author of Mountain Mayhem, and its prequel, Two Bears' Mountain, also wrote The Time Before Time, another tale of action and adventure sure to appeal to readers interested in life in the rugged west in times past. The Time Before Time follows the daily lives of Native Americans living in the aftermath of an ancient flood -- life and death, togetherness, jealousies, and what they do to survive. Request a copy of Bond's books here. Gary Bond was born in Idaho and raised on the Nez Perce Indian reservation. Bond died in January of 2016.
Researched and complied by Byron D. Bovey, Winchester, Idaho, The Payroll Town of Craig Mountain, tells the story of the town of Winchester through its first century. |
