[Michlib-l] STEM Programming & Inclusive Storytimes Workshop for YA & Youth Librarians

[Lancaster, Catherine (MDE)]

The Library of Michigan is pleased to announce a series of workshops around the state for Teen & Youth Public Library Staff.

Space is limited so please register now at: http://www.solutionwhere.com/lom/cw/showcourse.asp?82

These four one-day workshops offer public library's teen & youth staff 3 sessions.  In the morning session, all participants will have the opportunity to learn how to use & implement programming on MaKey MaKey and littleBits.  Each participant will be given one MaKey MaKey and one littleBits to take back to their library for programming use and/or circulation to the public. The afternoon will offer two breakout sessions.  The first being for children's staff: an interactive Inclusive storytime session with hands-on activities and implementation ideas with Bloomfield Township Public Library's Jen Taggart and Michigan Braille & Talking Book Library's Stephanie Wambaugh (Bridgid Turner from LARA will be speaking on behalf of Stephanie at our Marquette workshop).
The second afternoon breakout is for staff working with Teens & Tweens: a Portable MakerSpace Kit session, where ideas and tips for fun, easy-to-do, "on the go" STEM programming will be shared.
