Mudd and Friends Summer Coffeehouses

We’ve already hosted some wonderful and engaging coffeehouses in the Mudd Library this summer. Can you believe there are still more to enjoy?!

Coffeehouses are held on Wednesdays at 10 A.M. on the first floor of the library. All members of the Lawrence community are welcome to attend. 

July 31: Allison Fleshman: “McFleshman’s, Lawrence, and Appleton”
McFleshman’s Brewing Co. is Lawrence’s new downtown neighbor and already has quite the relationship. Come hear about the science of beer and how Lawrence science students will help us experiment our way to a better pint. She’ll also share the numerous projects they have planned with Appleton. Cheers!

August 7: Kelvin Maestre: “Researching & Creating in the Makerspace: I Did it, So Can You!”
Kelvin spent the summer as the makerspace research assistant working with LU faculty to integrate makerspace tools and equipment (including the new laser cutter) into their coursework. Come learn about these projects as well as how your friends in the makerspace can help you!

August 14: Andrew McSorley and Jedidiah Rex: “Geeky Stuff R Us”
Andrew and Jedidiah will share tools to make teaching and learning more engaging, active, and maybe, just maybe, more fun. If attendees are interested in trying the tools, they are encouraged to bring a laptop.

If you missed our previous coffeehouses, take a look at our Flickr page to relive the excitement. A list of books from our Summer Reads coffeehouse is available on the Summer Reads Guide.
