Headed to ECIS Library Triennial 2018
Barbara and Tim Boyer are headed to ECIS Library Triennial 2018 in Chennai, India Feb 16-17, 2018. We are looking forward to presenting on the topic “FIRST Robotics in the Library: Why Should a Librarian be Involved?“. We will be talking about how librarians can be instrumental assisting students further their work in robotics.
Our Presentation Description–With all the hype about makerspaces, how can robots in the library really be part of a library program? Learn about the international program of FIRST and how librarians can provide opportunities for students to be inspired in science and technology. The FIRST Lego League and the Junior program will be discussed in their connections to inquiry and authentic research skills. Students are judged on their ability to present their research in a creative format and citing your sources is key. Librarians can lead the way in bringing robotics to your school and the presenters can show you how! You do not need to know how to program a robot to start this program at your school.
We are working to upload presentation materials to this blog site.
