Staff members from the University of Montana spectrUM Discovery Area, Missoula's hands-on science museum located within the Missoula Public Library, will share activities and best practices from their Montana Makers exhibition. This exhibition has traveled to schools across the state, and engages students in a variety of STEAM activities and exhibits. Participants in this session will explore several of the activities that are part of the exhibition which are useful for the classroom or library, and take home copies of spectrUM's Making and Tinkering Cookbook.
