The FULL agenda for the day can be found

In the morning session, all participants will have the opportunity to learn how to use & implement programming on MaKey MaKey and littleBits.
Each participant will be given one MaKey MaKey
and one littleBits kit to take back to their library for programming use and/or circulation to the public

The afternoon will offer two breakout sessions. The first being for children’s staff: an interactive Inclusive storytime session with hands-on activities and implementation ideas with Bloomfield Township Public Library’s Jen Taggart and
Michigan Braille & Talking Book Library’s Stephanie Wambaugh (Bridgid Turner from LARA will be speaking on behalf of Stephanie at our Marquette workshop).
The second afternoon breakout is for staff working with Teens & Tweens: a Portable MakerSpace Kit session, where ideas and tips for fun, easy-to-do, “on the go” STEM programming will be shared and hands-on demos of various equipment.
