The mission of the Glen Ellyn Public Library is to serve the community as a vibrant center for accurate information, robust learning, and personal discovery. Glen Ellyn Public Library serves a community of almost 29,000 people and is located about 20 miles west of Chicago. Currently, the library holds 137,500 items, including books in print and Braille, audiobooks, DVDs, magazines, newspapers, playaways, STEAM kits, American Girl dolls, video games, and play packs.
Recently as part of their STEAM room update, they wanted to add something that combined fitness, academics, and fun! Enter the tWall! The TWall is designed to improve various aspects of fitness, including reaction time, agility, coordination, and cognitive skills. Users interact with the wall by touching or hitting the illuminated targets displayed on the panel. The panel is highly responsive and can detect quick movements and precise touches, providing immediate feedback to the user.
Overall, the TWall or Interactive Touch Wall provides a dynamic and interactive approach to fitness training. By combining physical activity with technology and gamification, it aims to make workouts more engaging, challenging, and enjoyable while improving various aspects of fitness and cognitive skills.
