STEAM AROUND THE WORLD: SUCCESSFULLY INCORPORATING HANDS-ON LEARNING AND DIVERSITY INTO CHILDREN'S PROGRAMMING

摘要

The incorporation of Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics (STEAM) into library programming is a continuing trend in the United States. At the Mount Prospect Public Library (MPPL) in Illinois, there are many STEAM programs inhouse that focus on science and technology, but we were looking for ways to add it to outreach programming. Our receipt of the Association for Library Service to Children's (ALSC) Building STEAM with Día grant allowed us to build upon an established Día de los Ni?os, Día de los Libros (Día) program.
