LIBRARY UPDATE: “Educating Educators”

Having the aid of two Americorps VISTA members at the library allows us to do a lot more for our community. On November 28th, Francesca Bessey followed up our September STEM workshop in library with an outreach personalized workshop to Lemhi’s Afterschool Promise educators. In Salmon Public Library’s mission to expose children to different careers and learning offerings we must help educators learn new ideas. So spending time with facilitation techniques as well as learning how to scaffold educational needs with the Makey Makey helped bridge some of those gaps yesterday. Understanding #STEM tools are more than just toys and can be critical to learning 21st century skills if used in the right way. We’re so happy to have our VISTA team on board and what they are able to do for our community when it comes to providing more opportunity!
