Separate sessions based on grade level (K-5, 6-8 and 9-12)
The Makerspace movement is sweeping school libraries and is helping
librarians learn how to transition their library to a learning commons
where students can not only read, check-out books and access a computer,
but also, create, tinker and build essential skills needed for them to be
successful in the 21st century. From low-tech, low cost options to
high-tech STEM based options you’ll learn about the movement, how to get
started and how these librarians got started financially and have jumped
in to lead the way for us all. (Featuring Dawn Viera, White Eagle Elem.
(Naperville); Patti Fleser, Deer Path Middle School (Lake Forest); Andrea
Trudeau, Shepard Middle School (Deerfield) and Kristen Mattson, Waubonsie
