[yscon] STEM Kits

Hello, Margardia,

The link above will connect you to a list of our existing kits. We have 7 and are working on kits 8 and 9.



 I am copying Joe Olayvar as he is the one who actually builds and services the kits.  He can give you specifics and "lessons learned".



 They have been really popular with both rural and urban libraries because of the STEM connections.  Parents are quite willing to bring their kids to a "STEM" program.

Cheers, Carolyn Petersen, Youth Services Coordinator , Washington State Library

Hi everyone,

   We're looking in to acquiring and circulating STEM kits for public library use. I know many of you have done this and I was hoping you could share your getting started experience. I'd especially appreciate hearing:

What type of kits do you have and how many did you start out with?

Which type of kit has been the most successful?

Did you assemble the kit yourself or did you use a vendor to help select and package tools/materials?

How are you evaluating your kits?

Thanks for your help!
