04  Resources for flexible implementation

The Family Makers program adapts to your library’s specific needs and resources. Select the format that best suits your community or consider combining multiple approaches for maximum impact.
 

In-person workshops: If you think your library patrons would not benefit from online programming and would prefer in-person workshops, feel free to use the existing Family Makers curriculum as drop-in programs, pop-up events, or partner with local schools to provide a series of programs.
 

Take-and-make kits: If you need a flexible, self-paced option for families with busy schedules or those who are geographically dispersed, print out our Instruction sheets and prepare the materials to develop take-and-make STEM kits for patrons.
 

Social media challenges: Use our Ready-to-go posts for Instagram and other platforms! This is an easy way for libraries with a digital presence to engage patrons with a fun engineering challenge.
 

Drop-in stations: Are you looking for a simple, low-staffing solution? Set up materials and print out the Instruction sheets for families to use as self-paced, interactive stations throughout the library.
