ALSC has partnered with the Lunar Planetary Institute (LPI) to help you with just that! The Lunar and Planetary Institute’s Explore program invites librarians to open doors to the universe to children — no prior experience in science is required! Explore provides step-by-step instructions for a selection of hands-on activities, as well as facilitator background information, correlating National Science Education Standards, and lists of related books, websites, handouts, and other resources. LPI also hosts free workshops and webinars across the country to help you bring hands on STEM programming into your library. Check out how these three Youth Service Librarians have launched into STEM programming with help from LPI!
