Our 4th and 5th graders had an incredible experience thanks to Prism Design Lab and a grant from DPS Foundation. They designed Lego structures, described where they were and other design details and then AI turned them into ( somewhat) realistic structures. The results were, well, unimaginable!

Who else got to start their Monday morning chasing a bird around their library? The early bird did not get a worm but it tried to find one in every potted plant in the library. Who knew Carolina Wrens liked to read? Eventually we guided him to safety outside. #bybyebirdie #FutureReadyLibs
