MDN:Flying High--Teen lab space at the Central Library gets a name, tentative opening
"Young visitors to the Benjamin L. Hooks Central Library will soon find themselves on cloud nine.
Make that Cloud901.
That’s the new name for a state-of-the-art teen learning lab under development at the library, for which more than $1.6 million already has been raised. The lab will be packed with cutting-edge technology and space for creative potential to flourish once it’s complete.

Given the kinds of high-tech things that will be available for teens – audio and video production, sound mixing, a gaming zone, 3D printing and more – the “cloud” part of the name is an appropriate nod to cloud computing.
Among the features of the lab will be the ability to work with robotics.
The University of Memphis engineering school was on hand at this week’s event to showcase a demo with a robot. That technology will be complemented in the lab by other things like equipment and space for coding, game design, music recording, graphic design and maker workshops, Jalfon said.
