SUMMARY:How Public Libraries can Bridge the Middle School STEM Gap
DESCRIPTION:Watch Recorded Webinar\nHow Public Libraries can Bridge the Middle School STEM Gap\nNote: This webinar was hosted by Urban Libraries Council (ULC) \nSTEM-related jobs are the fastest growing segment in our economy. Yet\, many youth lack access to quality STEM programming and exposure to STEM career opportunities\, limiting their opportunity to learn\, explore and prepare for life. With support from the Institute for Museum and Library Services\, ULC launched the Partners for Middle School STEM initiative to help public libraries build innovative STEM programs and partnerships to reach underserved youth. Join us for a webinar on December 12 to hear from the libraries in this initiative’s Learning Cohort\, discover general lessons learned from this project and pick up tips for enhancing your library’s STEM programming. \nPresenters\nJennifer Blenkle\, Director of Strategic Initiatives\, Urban Libraries Council\nBrooks Mitchell\, Education Coordinator\, Space Science Institute\nKelsey Hughes\, Adult and Teen Services Specialist\, Prince George’s Memorial Library System\nKelsey Williamson\, Children’s Department Manager\, Pioneer Library System\nIsaac Huffman\, Library Director\, Mount Vernon City Library

SUMMARY:Playful Hands-on STEM Learning in UK Libraries
DESCRIPTION:Watch Recorded Webinar\nView Presentation Slides\nChat\nPlayful Hands-on STEM Learning in UK Libraries\nThere is a tremendous need to provide young people with STEM skills for the future\, but in what ways are libraries contributing? This FREE webinar will demonstrate a few ideas from across the UK for facilitating playful STEM learning in libraries through afterschool activities and family events. Share your favorite resources for increasing your own skills and for engaging library customers. \nPresenter Keliann LaConte is currently based at the University of Edinburgh as a Fulbright Global Scholar to gather perspectives from UK libraries around STEM-related learning and share resources broadly. As a project leader within the STAR Library Network\, she has worked with library staff in the U.S. for over a decade to develop STEM activities and facilitate training.

SUMMARY:Ready\, Set\, Create! How Engineers and Libraries Can Collaborate to Make a World of Difference
DESCRIPTION:Watch Recorded Webinar\nView Presentation Slides\nDownload Link Bank\nReady\, Set\, Create! How Engineers and Libraries Can Collaborate to Make a World of Difference\nFrom the sidewalks that we walk on to the buildings that we work in\, engineering is all around us. Libraries are a wonderful place for patrons to learn about engineering due to their inclusive nature\, inquisitive staff\, and informal atmosphere. Join the STAR Library Network as we go over resources\, hands-on activities\, and lessons-learned from Project BUILD\, a collaborative project between STAR Net\, the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE)\, and the University of Virginia (UVA). \nProject BUILD engages youth\, their families\, librarians\, and professional engineers in an informal learning environment with age-appropriate\, technology-rich STEM learning experiences fundamental to the Engineering Design Process. We’ll hear from both librarians and engineers that were involved in the project\, and learn how they were able to work together to show library patrons that engineering. We’ll discuss how we implemented this project on a nation-wide scale while simultaneously staying regionally relevant\, and how library patrons learned that failure is OK – and encouraged! – when using the Engineering Design Process.

SUMMARY:Computational Thinking in Your Library - Day 2
DESCRIPTION:Watch Recorded Webinar\nView Presentation Slides\nDownload Link Bank\nComputational Thinking in Your Library\nWhat do you think of when you hear the term\, “Computational Thinking?” It’s more than just working with computers! Computational Thinking is a mindset and a way of approaching critical thinking that can be used to solve problems across every aspect of our lives. In this modern age\, it is more and more important for all community members to develop these pivotal thinking skills – that’s where libraries come in! \nIn our 2019-2020 STAR Net Webinar Series Kick-off\, we’ll be taking a look at Computational Thinking and ways that libraries can integrate this concept into their STEM programming. On Day 1\, we’ll be taking a look at Computational Thinking concepts and low-cost\, low-material activities that do not require a computer. On Day 2\, we’ll be joined by Eric Stroshane\, Library Development Manager for the North Dakota State Library\, to discuss ways to start coding clubs and showcase digital resources for high quality activities. Both webinars will feature a guest speaker\, Tai Hutchinson\, Manager of Community Partnerships & Outreach\, from Girls Who Code.

DESCRIPTION:Watch Recorded Webinar\nGetting Apollo Astronauts to the Moon and Safely Back to Earth\nNote: This webinar is brought to you by NASA’s Astromaterials Research and Exploration Science Division (Johnson Space Center) \nPresident John Kennedy committed America to landing men on the Moon by 1970 with the words: “I believe that this nation should commit itself to achieving the goal\, before this decade is out\, of landing a man on the moon and returning him safely to Earth.”  Mr. Woodfill will share his story of fulfilling the President’s words as the Apollo Program Spacecraft Warning System Engineer to return “him safely to the Earth.” The presentation explains how a young 23 year old Rice University Electrical Engineering graduate was able to not only overcome technical problems that might have led to the crew perishing but also saving Neil Armstrong’s Moonwalk from a catastrophic failure.
