Libraries join efforts to encourage STEAM thinking

Youth were recently invited to “light up a turkey’s eyes” using copper tape, LED lights and batteries at the Riddle City Library. In Sutherlin, at the C. Giles Hunt Memorial Public Library, robot building blocks have appeared among the shelves of books. And at the Roseburg Public Library, “Girls Who Code” events have invited third- through fifth-graders to explore the world of computer coding.

It’s time to WOW students around Douglas County with upcoming virtual tours of local and regional businesses and organizations looking to spread the word on potential careers paths for students.
