Special Notes

Helpful Computer Skills for Maker Projects

Most maker projects require a design file that is uploaded to the software that runs the equipment. For this reason, the following skills are very helpful. 

  • Ability to use a keyboard to copy and paste 

  • Ability to use a mouse to double-click and left-click, click-and-drag and highlight text, and scroll 

  • Ability to navigate file directories, open and rename files 

  • Knowledge of how to use a flash drive 

  • Patience using a computer for up to an hour 

DigitalLearn.org is a great resource for anyone who would like to enhance their computer skills. The library's goal is for programs to be enjoyed by all. If you have any concerns about accessibility or need to request specific accommodations, please call 630-469-0879 or email reference@gepl.org.
