New media lab opens at Bluffton library

A new media lab is open at the Bluffton branch of the Beaufort County Library System.

The space lets participants learn and create projects that they might not otherwise be able to do at home, according to a release from the library.

It is equipped with computers that feature a range of free and open-source software to design and edit various audio-visual files.

Other equipment available includes sound gear for recording podcasts, video cameras to produce films, and the latest 3D printer.

Classes are offered daily for all ages on a variety of subjects such as graphic art and design, photo and video editing and 3D printing.

The lab is now open various hours each week for classes and “Open Lab” sessions where a full-time instructor is on duty to answer customers’ technology questions.
