Libraries are an important host to introducing, fostering, encouraging, and strengthening information literacy and technology in all their forms to their patrons.
By presenting a schoolwide Tech Week, we provide many windows to look through, doors ajar to walk through, and opportunities to play with STEM in a safe and judgment-free environment.
Young and old alike currently appear to be bombarded with new tech at a lightning pace.
What better way to navigate this newness than collaboratively with one's patrons in a library space?
By this presentation's end, one will have the tools, tricks, inspiration, and starting point to host a promotional week of events celebrating science, technology, engineering, the arts, and math in their public or school libraries.
Workshops, career talks, maker space activities, fix-it cafes, sumo robot competitions... each feature provides a potential catalyst for investigation and growth.
