Make, create or innovate these April holidays!

Jess Payne from Wellington City Libraries and Community Spaces

Looking for some more things to do with the kids these school holidays?

Spin a Sphero, make music, code a cart, and rock with a robot! These April school holidays, your children can get to be an engineer, architect, or scientist at your local library. There are eight different robot and coding events happening across Wellington City Libraries: we have some of the latest programmable toys, gadgets and robots, or they can get creative with Lego and coding games. Best of all, they are open to all ability levels.

Happy Tuesday, neighbours, can you figure out what I am?

Riddler from The Neighbourly Riddler

I can be long, or I can be short.

I can be painted, or left bare.
I can be round, or square.
What am I?
