[Michlib-l] Wish the kids in your library would do more than "just putter"? Workshop next Wed in Ann Arbor!

[Kristin Fontichiaro]

Do you set out open activities like LEGO, K'Nex, Strawbees, Dash and Dot,
Makedo, or other projects but wish your patrons did more than putter
around? Maybe you need to give them a *design challenge: *an invitation to
create something that fulfills some predetermined criteria to focus your
students but leaves enough room for them to pursue original outcomes. Come
enjoy the morning with us on *Wednesday, May 24, from 10am - noon at North
Quad on the University of Michigan campus *and see how you can challenge
your students to put their creativity to work!
