Orlando Public Library Visits Orlando Tech

Leave a Comment / Imagine / By Melrose Center Team

The Technology and Education Center staff is always on the lookout for ways to get the word out about our wonderful library services. We sometimes consider ourselves a “hidden gem” here in downtown Orlando. This week, we visited another “ hidden gem” in our neighborhood, OCPS Orlando Tech. We toured the Digital Media Center and viewed beautiful student artwork created in Adobe Illustrator and Adobe Photoshop. We saw examples of 3D models designed by students and build on their 3D printers. In the film department, we toured the motion capture studio and observed a class in Adobe Premiere Pro. We watched a team of students in the audio department plan a recording session and set up the studio space. When the Melrose Center opens, we are excited about the opportunities for partnership between the Orlando Public Library and OCPS Orlando Tech.

Watch this blog for continued updates on the Melrose Center construction progress. We’re looking forward to giving you further information about our planned Film Studio, Photography Studio, Recording Studio, Fab Lab and Simulation Lab.

The MIT Sesame Ring and 3D Printing

1 Comment / Imagine / By Melrose Center Team

The library purchased a MakerBot Replicator 2 3D printer earlier this year and our 3D Design and Printing classes have become one of our most popular classes here at the Orlando Public Library. We love reading stories about innovative uses for a 3D printer and one of our recent favorites is the story of 2 MIT students who designed the Sesame Ring, which can be used in place of a Boston transit card. Read more about this innovative project and come join us for the next 3D Design and Printing classes at the Orlando Public Library on Saturday, September 7.

Learn Microsoft Visio and Microsoft Project at the Orlando Public Library

Leave a Comment / Events / By Melrose Center Team

Two new business classes worth knowing about are Microsoft Visio and Microsoft Project. Microsoft Visio allows you to represent data through diagrams. For example, concept maps, timelines, floor plans, and organizational charts can all be professionally organized in the Visio software.

By using Microsoft Project, you can manage and schedule your project, create graphs and timelines and share and present project information. Either class is a great addition to any business resume. The next Microsoft Visio class takes place at the Orlando Public Library on Tuesday, August 27 at 5:30 pm. The Microsoft Project class meets on Thursday, August 29, at 5:30 pm.

So join us at the Orlando Public Library. It’s fun time to be here!
