In case you don't already subscribe to the Collaborative Summer Library Program newsletter, we wanted to make sure you saw their most recent resources section emailed for librarians around the country to use: The Space Science Institute (SSI) is home to the STAR Library Network (STAR Net) and its NASA@ My Library program. The STAR Net team in partnership with the Collaborative Summer Library Program (CSLP) are working together to share science- and technology-related activities and resources to libraries across the nation as part of next years’ summer learning program – Universe of Stories. NASA@ My Library will be sharing many more resources in the months ahead. Stay tuned!
STAR Net focuses on helping library professionals facilitate STEM learning for their patrons by providing “science-technology activities and resources” (STAR) and training to use those resources. Whether you are new to STEM or are building on past experiences, STAR Net offers resources and collaborations to take lifelong STEM learning to new levels in your library:
1. The STEM Activity Clearinghouse’s “Universe of Stories” Collection features over 80 STEM activities that are perfect for the library setting. 2. Resource Overview for “A Universe of Stories” Tuesday, December 18, 2018 at 4:00 p.m. (EDT), 3:00 p.m. (CDT), 2:00 p.m. (MDT), 1:00 p.m. (PDT) Looking for activities, websites, how-to videos, training, and more for the 2019 Summer Learning Theme?

Out-of-this-World Engineering (archived webinar) Join STAR Net as we take a look at some of the newest activities on the STEM Activity Clearinghouse that feature engineering design challenges with a space science theme. As we create rockets and rovers, we’ll be following the engineering design process: think, build, test, and do it again. Come and learn how you can make your 2018 and 2019 STEM programs blast off! http://www.starnetlibraries.org/resources/webinars/
