Middle school students create robots at the library

By JESSICA HARKER jharker@vindy.com

The Austintown library hosted its first Techie Camp sponsored by Tech Corp starting on Aug. 5.

Instructors Maia Pickens and Madison Zene ran the camp throughout the week.

Ten middle-schoolers, broken into groups of two, participated in the camp working to build and program their own robots.

The groups utilized Lego Mindstorms EV3 building kits to create their projects.

“They started out building simple projects that they can move themselves and then as the week advanced they are making projects that are self moving,” Pickens said.

She said that each day students come in with a new project to work on.

On the first day of camp, students created a top spinner and a mini rover.

Zene said that after they got the hang of those, on day two See TECHIE CAMP, Page 4

On Thursday, each group worked to create their own projects, which were all self moving robots with a sensor.

“They might have a color sensor, a touch sensor or a sonic

sensor,” Pickens said. “But every group creates their own.”

At the end of the week, each group will present their final project to their families at a graduation ceremony.

Pickens said that each participant will receive a certificate, a shirt and a bag at the end of the course.

“This is the first robotics camp we have run in the area,” Picken said.

She explained that Tech Corp

For the first year, Pickens said she is impressed by the work that the groups are doing.

Fire Tower and Training Facility

Members of the MCCTC school board and Austintown Fire Chief Andrew Frost III shoveled the first dirt at the new site for the school’s Fire Tower and Training Facility set to be constructed by January 2020.

Fire departments from across Mahoning Valley were represented at MCCTC for the groundbreaking ceremony for the upcoming Fire Tower and Training Facility.

MCCTC hosts ground breaking ceremony for new fire tower training facility

By JESSICA HARKER jharker@vindy.com

Mahoning County Career and Technical Center hosted a ground breaking ceremony for a new fire tower training facility on the campus on July 9.

School superintendent John Zehentbauer hosted the ceremony, which brought together local politicians, fire departments and MCCTC board members.

“I want to thank everyone that was involved in this project from its inception to the ground breaking,” Zehentbauer said.

The project, which will cost approximately $1.1 million, is set to be completed by January 2020.

Zehentbauer said that the goal of the facility is to provide a state of the art training area for everyone from local high school students to professional firefighters.

The school currently offers fire courses for both high school students and adults, and Zehentbauer said the facility will also offer free high school level training for local schools.

“It is important that our local firemen will have a safe, state of the art facility to train in that is close by,” Zehentbauer said.

Austintown Fire Chief Andrew Frost said that the facility will help local departments keep up on their training without having to travel.

He said that with shifting state laws it has become harder for departments to find facilities they can use to train for dangerous situations.

“We are going to be able to have these firefighters in these dangerous situations in a controlled setting, as opposed to in the field for the first time,” Frost said.

He also said he sees this facility as a way to engage the younger generation, in the hopes of recruiting younger members into the profession.

Michael Kusalaba library hosts outer space jewelry making event

By JESSICA HARKER jharker@vindy.com

The Michael Kusalaba library hosted an outer space themed jewelry making event on July 10.

Librarian Hannah Matulek hosted the event, using the library’s maker space 3D printer to make space themed pendants.

“I want it to be personalized,” Matulek said. “I want everyone to find their own design.”

Community members started by searching on thingiverse.com for designs of space themed 3D pendants, with Matulek offering a number of suggestions.

After community members made their selections, they were able to load them onto the computer connected to the 3D printer and customize them.

Matulek helped community members select the size of the pendant, and add space to connect the pendant to a chain.

The event was space themed to fit in the library’s summer read ing prog ra m’s t heme, which is “A Universe of Stories.”

During the competition, local business owner and town-

ship trustee Bruce Shepas was the chairman of the event.

“T he big gest cha nge we made was moving the competition from 2 p.m. to noon,” Shepas said. “This way everyone can get to their barbecues or family events sooner.”

He said that more than 100

organizations participated in the parade this year.

“The attendance has also grow n substantia lly due to t he t i me cha nge,” Shepa s said.

The t heme of t he pa rade this year was “Austintown... how sweet it is,” and Jim Mol-

nar, of Molnar’s Concessions, was the Grand Marshall.

The parade also hosted its annual float competition.

The winner once again was Joanna Parker, with West Side Tire.

She will receive $250 and a plaque.
