Why STEAM Literacy?Science, Technology, Engineering, (Art), Math

+Informal Science Education
Formal vs. Informal Learning
Self-motivated
voluntary
guided by interest
life-long
Libraries can provide fun informal
learning opportunities around STEM
subjects

+Supporting STEAM Learning
STEM Literacy as a process,
not a content area
We use a modified version of
this model in all of our maker
and STEM programs and we
support this type of inquiry
through our spaces, collections
and services

+STEAM Literacy
Process many kinds of
information simultaneously
Organize new information into
existing knowledge
Collaborate with peers and
adults
Continuously engage in new
learning by revisiting it at
increasingly higher levels of
complexity over time
Communicate effectively about
science and technology.
Be responsive to accelerating
change driven by new
technologies
Work together to find measured
yet creative solutions to
problems which are today
unimaginable
We Help Learners To: Thus they are able to:

+History of STEAM at the FFL
Recognized the local and national importance of STEAM
learning several years ago
Tested incrementally and saw strong evidence of local interest
Asked ourselves, “What can we STOP doing?”
Made a shift towards programs, services and spaces that
support participatory learning
