STEM Uni Visits our Library

We are all into STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) here at our library.  We have received a grant to look into STEM for birth to three year-olds.  To that end, we were lucky enough to get a travelling STEM UNI.

Here are some photos of the thing.  It was rather large.  I snapped pictures of the cubbies that seemed like they'd be easy to implement in a Children's Library setting. 

 

 

A child would get a prize when she completed one cubbie from each of the four STEM areas.

 

 The box that says equations held craft sticks which said, "2 + 4", "8-2", etc.  The idea is to put the craft stick into the correct answer.  This was, obviously, a math cubbie.

 

This was a very popular bell cubbie which qualified as Science.  You would line the bells up in numerical order and then be able to play a song on them.  Winner!

 

This Magnet cubbie was also a big hit.  It was a Technology cubbie.

And here is an example of an Engineering cubbie.  "Balance the Bears."  One big bear equaled two medium or three small. 

 

It made for a very busy and fun filled time at the library!

I was sorry to see the STEM Uni go.
