Looking for innovative ways to engage and inspire teens in your library or classroom? This course will explore STEM-centric and creative programming ideas for your young adult users that will equip them with the 21st century skills they need for the future, and that they’re want to get involved in! Prepare your teen audience for careers that don’t even exist yet and have fun with dynamic multimedia projects, cutting-edge gaming initiatives, and more, helping to create lifelong learners along the way.

The course will provide an abundance of timely programming ideas for teens at your library or school, so whether you’re thinking of developing a “breakerspace,” a podcast by and for teens, or game design workshop, we’ve got you covered with live sessions from leaders in the field, self-guided bonus video content, and assignments in an advisor-led small group workshop to keep your planning on track!

As a participant in the course, you will view live sessions and join the conversation via live chat. (All sessions are recorded for on-demand access.) Most important, you’ll work with a dedicated advisor in an online coaching environment to gather resources and best practices and connect with peers from across North America (and beyond).
