| Math & Science Programs at the Libarary |
|
The Novato Library will host a four-part series of two-hour, afterschool math and science programs: Make It! Move It! Eat It: An Introduction to Everyday Science to middle school students and teens in March.
The programs will be lead by Engineer and Scientist, Linh Nguyen and by Jack Deslippe, Advanced Graduate Researcher at University of California, Berkeley, Department of Physics.
North Bay Leadership Council President and CEO Cynthia Murray applauds the library's program. "By exposing students to the wonders of math and science, the Novato Library is opening new doors for them to explore which should lead to more students continuing to pursue math and science careers," she said.
Librarian Amanda Foust developed the programs based on the North Bay Leadership Council's (NBLC) spring economic insight report, "How to Make the North Bay a Jobs Magnet," which highlighted the strong need for visible math and science programs for youth in grades K-12. The Council's interest in math and science programs for youth stems from the fact that Novato has recently seen a clustering of the biotech and digital arts businesses, which guarantees future job growth, along with a push to attract a higher-paid scientific workforce.
Each program at the Novato Library will focus on a particular theme and include both demonstrations and hands-on science experiments. At the conclusion of each program, the scientists will use food as a final demonstration, which will then be distributed amongst the participants.
The program schedule is:
Tuesday, March 2, 3:30-5:30: Motors
Tuesday, March 9, 3:30-5:30: Magnets
Tuesday, March 16, 3:30-5:30: Optics
Tuesday, March 23, 3:30-5:30: Waves
The Novato Library is located at 1720 Novato Blvd. Please contact the Novato Library Reference Desk to sign-up at (415) 897-1142. Sign-ups are required.
Funding for the program is provided by a federal grant funded by the Library Services and Technology Act (LSTA) Grant administered by the California State Library.
