“STEAM Programming for Diverse Populations”
Date
& Time: June 14th,
2016. Start Time: Pacific - 12 Noon, Mountain - 1 PM, Central - 2 PM,
Eastern - 3 PM
Description: STEAM
programs that connect youth audiences to science, technology, engineering, the
arts, and math—continue to be a particularly hot topic in libraries, with
plenty of conference programs and online learning opportunities devoted to the
concept. Yet despite the growing number of STEAM resources available, libraries
may find themselves wondering:
- What
might STEAM programs look like particularly in libraries serving racially and
ethnically diverse communities?
- How
do my staff and I offer meaningful STEAM opportunities for diverse populations
without specialized training?
- How
do we help youth build strong foundations in STEAM through programs that are
easily accessible and interesting to a community with a diverse population?
In a
landscape where children of color tend to have fewer STEAM opportunities in
school and extracurriculars, the library can aim to fill these gaps for their
communities. This webinar will explore why it is necessary to offer STEAM
programs for diverse youth and teen populations, and will include a variety of
ideas for programs and resources for finding and creating your own programs.
At the
end of this one-hour webinar, participants will:
- Be
able to define STEAM and describe its place in youth & teen services for
diverse communities
- Understand
how preparation, access, and motivation are issues of STEAM equity
- Know
how to identify a new audience that can be served by an existing program
- Have
new ideas about how to create library programs that connect children to STEAM
learning opportunities
- Be
familiar with how to design engaging and empowering STEAM opportunities for
teens
This
webinar will be of interest to: public library youth & teen services
librarians and paraprofessionals, school library staff, youth services managers
and coordinators, library administrators

some technologies deserve more attention than others? As part of the Emerging
Tech Trends series, this webinar continues the exploration into emerging
technology trends and tipping points, and how these trends are re-shaping
library services. Join Laura Solomon as she explores what’s coming down the
pike and what it might mean (or not) for libraries. We can't track everything,
