The world is changing at a breakneck pace. We're preparing our students for jobs that don't even exist yet. In this rapidly evolving world, it is vital that we equip our students with the skills they will need to thrive, such as critical thinking, communication, creativity and collaboration. Intergrating STEM through hands-on learning in our classrooms will help to develop these skills in our students. We'll look at examples of how project-based learning and the Maker Movement have transformed learning at Stewart Middle Magnet.

How to Run an Awesome After-school Makers Club

Diana Rendina

Whether you already have a thriving makerspace or are just getting started, forming an after-school group is ideal for diving deep into projects and building up a culture of making in your library. It's often difficult to get students into makerspaces for in-depth projects during the school day, so starting an after-school club can be a great way to jump-start your program and get your students engaged. Learn strategies for how to get started, including tips on advocating for an after-school club with your administration. Learn about setting norms and procedures for your students, balancing design challenges with free exploration and creating a reflection and sharing piece for students. I'll share about my experiences with our Stewart Makers Club over the last two years. No matter where you're at, an after-school Makers Club can be an amazing way to bring the Maker Movement into your school.

Finding ways to get our middle schoolers into our library makerspace can sometimes be challenging – especially in a pandemic. Last year, we expanded our existing makerspace programming into afterschool Maker Days twice a week and it’s been a huge success. This year we’re continuing to grow by incorporating maker activities into the 6th grade science curriculum. Learn how we created design challenges and found fun activities that engaged our students in design and creativity.

This document outlines a methodology for training candidates in skills to improve their employability, including powerpoint presentations, video clips, mock interviews, group discussions, individual and group activities, games, and tests across 20 hours of training for a minimum of 20 candidates at a cost of 1,500 rupees. It notes that in India, a large percentage of graduates from universities, colleges, and technical institutes lack employable skills, with 75% of graduates and 90% of 2.3 million graduates being unemployable, highlighting the need for such training to develop soft skills, resume writing, interviewing, communication, and other skills.

Exploring Chemical and Biological Knowledge Spaces with PubChem

Paul Thiessen

My presentation for the Drug Repurposing workshop at the upcoming Bio-IT World Expo. http://www.bio-itworldexpo.com/Bio-It_Expo_Content.aspx?id=124256 Presentation abstract: PubChem has a wealth of chemical structure and biological activity information. In conjunction with NCBI’s other resources such as PubMed and GenBank, PubChem is a vast source of information relevant to repurposing not only of established drugs but any compounds with in vivo pharmacology and/or clinical results. The challenge is how to take advantage of this knowledge. The ability to explore not only chemical similarity but relationships between diseases and disease targets has crucial value in repurposing. While focused investigations are already possible within the existing Entrez system, navigation across these linked information spaces can be difficult to do on a large scale with current tools. We are actively developing new infrastructure to support such analyses, and pursuing new methods of exploring inter- and intra-database relationships between chemicals, targets, diseases, and patents. Progress and some future direction in these areas will be presented.

This document summarizes the key findings of a collaboration between the World Economic Forum and other organizations on the topic of global risks. It identifies several current global risks that are highly likely or damaging, such as terrorism, pandemics, and natural disasters. However, it also examines how certain risks are interconnected and how the combination of multiple risks can create greater impacts, as was seen with Hurricane Katrina. The document argues for more collaborative, multistakeholder approaches to improve understanding and mitigation of global risks.

The three biggest challenges when it comes to compliance training is that it's sending more people asleep than not, as compliance programmes aren't positioned properly and are not supporting genuine change. So how can compliance be more engaging and make behavioural change by using a blended learning approach? In our recent webinar, Tina Griffin, Learning Solutions Manager from Kineo Pacific's Wellington office discussed various ways to solve these challenges and to make compliance training more approachable and less dry for learners.

Diana Rendina

Diana Rendina is a teacher librarian at Tampa Preparatory School who has been transforming the school's library space. When she started in 2017, the library's collection was outdated and there was no variety in learning zones. Since then, she has updated 71% of the collection titles, added new materials like graphic novels and manga, improved the furniture and layout to encourage collaboration, and created a makerspace called the Idealab. Upcoming renovations will further develop different conversation levels and academic support offices to create a more modern learning environment.

This Old Library: How to Revamp, Reimagine and Revitalize Your Library

Many of us work in school libraries that were built in the 20th century. Our collections are a hodge-podge of different collection development strategies (or lack thereof) over the decades. Whether you’re taking over a new-to-you library program or you’ve been at your school for years, there are probably neglected spaces you would like to spruce up, programs you would like to create and new books that need to be added. It can be overwhelming to try to figure out where to get started. In this session, you’ll learn strategies for tackling that weeding project, improving usability in your space, changing up your furniture, building collaboration with teachers and more. No matter your grade level, years of experience or the age of your library space, you will come away from this session excited to reimagine your library.

Makerspaces + Art workshop: Combining the Arts, Creativity and STEM

Diana Rendina

The arts and science and technology are often separated into distinct spaces in today’s schools. Makerspaces, on the other hand, are learning environments that bring all of these together along with a spirit of creativity and design. Learn about how one school created such an environment in their library and gain strategies for bringing the Maker Movement into your classroom. We’ll include lots of practical tips and hands-on making to help educators get a sense of how this would fit in with their curriculum. Workshop created for the Ringling Museum of Art.
