Abstract

Reimagining learning, the Carson City Library is bringing robotics technology and engineering to Carson City middle school students in 2021. Utilizing analog and digital learning, students will build components of a bionic fish, elephant, and chameleon over the 3-day Bionics Camps designed to encourage STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Math) related career exploration and development. Learn how they put together a winning IMLS grant proposal, a diversified leadership team to head the project, all the pieces needed for implementation, as well as some early observations of community engagement and lessons learned.
