STEM Library Lab was founded in 2016 as a racial equity organization, and stands in solidarity with the civil discourse movement locally and nationally following the murders of George Floyd, Modesto Reyes, Breonna Taylor, and many others, both public and left unknown.  We support the demands of protesters and affirm that Black Lives Matter.

COVID-19 Update:  We look forward to resuming all of our services soon.

We are excited to continue to lend equipment to local teachers for the purpose of remote teaching demos as soon as our equipment Library is open!

 

We have compiled a list of curriculum, enrichment, and community oriented resources to aid teachers transitioning to remote teaching.

ALL LOCAL TEACHERS ARE WELCOME, free of charge, to request materials by emailing twackerman@STEMLibraryLab.org or reserving them directly from our Inventory Page.

Outscoring the Rest of the Network

My experience with the STEM library was fantastic. The library provided me with compasses and trundle wheels that drastically strengthened our lesson on using maps. I wouldn’t have even considered incorporating trundle wheels to the lesson if I hadn’t consulted with the librarians at SLL. – Nick Porras (Lycee Francais)
