STEM and Makerspace Programming:

Monthly STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) Program:

Are you ready to explore the fun activities and projects that utilize science, technology, engineering, and math? Join us as we build, create, innovate, and learn! Ages 6 and up. Takes place the 1st Tuesday of every month, from 4 - 5pm. Hosted by our trained Children's Department librarians or librarian assistants. 

-This program enhances developmental activities for children through playing, singing, writing, reading, and talking. These practices help children start to develop phonological awareness, vocabulary, print awareness, letter knowledge, and background knowledge (Ghoting, n.d.).

 

Guided Makerspace Event:

Though our Makerspace is always open for exploration and projects, on the first Thursday of each month, from 4 - 5 pm, we offer a librarian-guided activity for ages 6 and up. Come see our sound-recording equipment, work with the 3D Printer, learn about junk-journaling, or even how to make your own potted-plant planter! The possibilities are endless.
