Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)
Participants will learn something about LEGOs, have an educational STEM experience, and check out materials after attending this event.
Measurable Outcome(s)
Select comments were collected from post-program written surveys: "[I] learned about balance and racing lines." "The girls had fun and were inspired to repeat this activity at home with their LEGOs." Almost all LEGO books we had available were checked out after. The Library ended up buying LEGOs and started a club in the fall as a result.
