We are excited to announce our first Innovator-in-Residence, Vladimir Mariano! Vladimir will join us on Friday afternoons, beginning November 1, utilizing the library’s 3D printers and Innovation Lab resources to craft new kinetic artworks. Through this creative process, he will share his expertise in robotics, 3D designs, and circuitry with the Greenwich Library community.
Vladimir is the co-founder of the Fairfield County Makers’ Guild, founder of CT Robotics Academy, and the founder of Desktop Makes, an online platform dedicated to teaching makers how to design 3D models using Autodesk Fusion. From 2017 to 2024, he led the Norwalk Community College Makerspace, playing a key role in its development. Vladimir is passionate about sharing his expertise and regularly collaborates with local libraries to offer a variety of maker workshops on topics of design, electronics, computer programming, and more.
