Teen Program Ideas: Teen Tech Week




Teen Tech Week is fast approaching, so I thought I'd throw out a few ideas - all from pinterest
Be sure also to check out the official page


If your kids love exploring science and technology I bet they would love to explore robotics.  These are all robots that kids can make!:
Robot Building
Make this awesome color changing slime that changes color with temperature! Thermochromic slime makes STEM learning fun.:
Heat Activated Slime
100 pennies in a cup...see who can make a bridge to support it using the smallest amount of legos. Great for after the state tests or during the last week of school!:
Lego Bridge Challenge 
For the Community (for the kid's room inside the library or a place in the community). Have teens create a road way for kids to play with cars.

Turn STEM into STEAM. How to incorporate art with science, technology, engineering and math and WHY it is essential to your child's learning!:

Teen Tech Week


Happy Teen Tech Week!

I don't use technology often with my teens because we don't have a computer lab available. We have several teen computers, where they come in to use for school work or more likely play on Facebook. I try to have technology programs where they have to do something and then turn it it or email me the results. Sometimes it introduces them to new technologies. 

This week, I'm hosting a contest for teens at the library:

Hermoine GrangerCreate an outfit for your favorite book character. Use polyvore.com (a free site) to create an outfit. Share it with Jennifer via the Otis Library facebook page, the Otis Library Pinterest page, or email the link to jrummel@otis.lioninc.org. Share the outfit with Jennifer before Saturday 3/16 at 3 pm to be entered into a drawing for an iTunes gift card.
 
Check out our pinterest page for inspiration:

There are times when contests work really well at my library, and times when no one enters. I hope this week it's one of those times that works really well! How are you celebrating Teen Tech Week?
