Welcome to "STEM in the Stacks and Beyond," the podcast where two school librarians dive into the exciting world of STEM in education and school libraries. Powered by Stiffinity, your one-stop STEM shop, and our friends at Clubcast, an educational podcasting platform, we'll explore innovative tools, creative programs, policy affecting our schools and libraries, and real-world strategies to bring science, technology, engineering, and math to life in your school community. We believe that school libraries are the heart of providing access to all resources, books, and beyond, opening doors to the ever-growing world of STEM. That's why we'll be sitting down with a variety of guests, fellow librarians, district decision makers, vendors, and creators who are making an impact in STEM in education.
In this episode, we provide a preview for the upcoming AASL conference in St. Louis. Jennifer and Shannon share their excitement for the conference and discuss what attendees can expect, including interactive opportunities at the STEMfinity booth, such as using a Chompsaw and Merge EDU and engaging with STEM activities.
Shannon highlights the importance of hands-on experiences for librarians looking to purchase resources for their libraries, emphasizing the value of seeing, touching, and feeling items before making a decision. The hosts also discuss a special activity involving Shannon's new series, ISTE Digital Explorers, and Merge, along with the release of Featured Ready Librarian 3.0 at the conference.
As they delve into what makes AASL unique, Jennifer and Shannon mention the presence of publishers, authors, and thoughtfully prepared presentations from library professionals. The hosts share their excitement for networking with colleagues, meeting new librarians, and reconnecting with familiar faces at the conference. Shana gives a sneak peek of the framework changes in Featured Ready Librarian 3.0.
