Youth
Using the latest emerging technology, the Northeast Ohio Regional Library System’s Traveling Youth Tech Lab teaches children and teens how to create, code and think critically through play and collaboration!We can bring the Youth Tech Lab to your library so that your children can play and experiment with the latest technology available. In doing so, you and your library will have the ability to discover what tech works best in your library and environment, providing you the best opportunity for wise choices when planning budgets and purchasing for your department.
You can also use the Youth Tech Lab to train your staff so they are comfortable and even excited about the newest technologies today. Test out coding robots, draw with a 3D printing pen and fly a drone. You will be able to implement and champion the use of this technology as both a fun and education-rich experience.
With the Youth Tech Lab, you will:
- Discover what devices work specifically in your library and with your community
- Find inexpensive and free technology so that EVERY child and teen has an opportunity to innovate and learn
- Get staff excited and comfortable about implementing new and fun methods of introducing STEAM-focused learning, computational thinking and soft skills
