PNG - Group One: Illinois Veterans History Project + Virtual Reality
Event Date:
Mar 12 2018 - 3:00pm Who: All youth, ages 11 through 14, are welcome to participate, including those that are home-schooled. This "group" is limited to 10 participants. Registration is required. Where: LaSalle Public Library, LaSalle & IVCC, Oglesby. Group One Why: It's fun! It's a way to connect to the past and honor Veterans. It's a way to learn a few of today's exciting technologies. It's an opportunity to use the learning as a foundation for emerging technologies. We are delighted to be collaborating with Illinois Valley Community College faculty and resources to offer youth exceptional STEM learning. How: For complete details about this program, please contact Cristy Stupegia, Library Director at 815-223-2341. Project Next Generation is the vision of Illinois Secretary of State, Jesse White. Its focus is for public libraries to provide after-school programming that allows youth to learn emerging technologies, and participate in an important Illinois humanities project via adult mentors. In addition to technical knowledge, the funded grant programs also strive to help participating youth develop self-confidence and the ability to work both collaboratively and independently.
Funding for Project Next Generation was awarded by the Illinois State Library, a Department of the Office of the Secretary of State, Jesse White, using funds provided by the U.S Institute of Library Services under the provisions of the Library Services and Technology Act (LSTA). |
