Integrating STEM into Storytime - Flagstaff

Teaching STEM principles through literature

Presenters from the Arizona Science Center will demonstrate how library staff can integrate STEM principles into family and youth programming. This training teaches participants to use a story as a framework for creating STEM-based design projects and experiments based on the experiences of the characters which can be used in Storytime or other literature based family programming. The results of these programs will deepen library users’ interest in reading and inspire creativity in the STEM fields.

Participants will:

  • Explore the themes of Water, Magnets, Measuring, Building, Shapes and Botany
  • Learn how to use a book to inspire scientific thinking and explore STEM concepts
  • Take away a STEM kit based on one of the themes presented.
