SUMMARY:Empowering Creativity: Exploring Makerspaces and Engaging STEM Programming in Libraries Webinar
DESCRIPTION:Makerspaces are creative\, DIY spaces where people can gather to create\, invent\, and learn. While some libraries have long-established makerspaces\, others are just getting started. In this webinar\, aimed at those who are relatively new to makerspaces\, we’ll look at how we can put these spaces to work in a practical way. Even if you don’t have a dedicated physical makerspace in your library\, you can learn the theory behind makerspaces and programming that will work for you. \nParticipants will explore: \n\nDifferent types of makerspaces\n13 types of high-tech and low-tech makerspace tools of the trade\nHow seven libraries are excelling with makerspaces\nHow to host 10 types of programming events with or without a makerspace\n\nAbout the Instructor \nEllyssa Valenti Kroski is the Director of Innovation & Engagement at the New York Law Institute as well as an award-winning editor and author of 77 books. She is a librarian\, an adjunct faculty member at San Jose State University\, and an international conference speaker. She can be found at: https://www.amazon.com/author/ellyssa. \nRegistration with the ALA here.

SUMMARY:Ancient Worlds\, New Tech: Bringing History to Life with AR and MR in the Library
DESCRIPTION:Bring the past into the present with immersive technology! This webinar explores how libraries can use Augmented and Mixed Reality (AR/MR) to activate cultural stories\, build layered exhibits\, and engage patrons of all ages. Learn how to design interactive experiences using tools like Adobe Aero\, BlippAR\, and ZapWorks—no coding required. We’ll spotlight successful library case studies and walk through accessible workflows to create your own programs. Featured ideas include Myth in Motion: AR Poster Series\, Augment the Exhibit\, Time Travelers’ Map\, History on a Cube\, Voices in the Stacks\, and Smells of the Past. Whether you’re working with a single display or developing full immersive zones\, this session will help you start small\, think big\, and connect your community through technology and story. \nParticipants will be able to: \n\nDistinguish between AR and MR and identify key tools for each that are accessible in public and academic libraries.\nApply practical workflows to create spatial\, visual\, and auditory exhibit layers using beginner- and intermediate-friendly tools.\nDesign interactive programming that brings cultural heritage to life through multisensory experiences such as AR posters\, Merge Cube artifacts\, soundscapes\, and tactile installations.\n\nAbout the Instructor \nEllyssa Valenti Kroski is the Director of Innovation & Engagement at the New York Law Institute as well as an award-winning editor and author of 77 books. She is a librarian\, an adjunct faculty member at San Jose State University\, and an international conference speaker. She can be found at: https://www.amazon.com/author/ellyssa. \nRegistration through TechDays Wisconsin here.

SUMMARY:Game On: Using Archaeogaming to Engage Patrons with History and Culture
DESCRIPTION:Games aren’t just fun—they’re a gateway to cultural exploration\, critical thinking\, and creativity. This engaging webinar introduces the concept of archaeogaming\, where archaeology and play intersect to spark discovery and connection. Learn how libraries can harness both digital and tabletop games to bring the ancient world—and cultural interpretation—to life for patrons of all ages. We’ll explore standout titles like Never Alone\, Assassin’s Creed\, Heaven’s Vault\, No Man’s Sky\, Civilization VI\, and Pentiment\, alongside a variety of program-ready ideas such as Play & Learn Game Nights\, Virtual Digs and Alien Archaeology\, Decode the Past: Ancient Language Challenges\, and History vs. Game Night. Whether you’re a gamer or not\, you’ll leave with hands-on ideas and accessible tools to build engaging\, culturally rich programs rooted in play. \nBy the end of this session\, participants will be able to: \n\nDefine archaeogaming and identify its educational potential for cultural and historical engagement in library settings.\nEvaluate a range of games for their cultural content\, design potential\, and relevance to different audiences.\nDevelop archaeogaming programs that blend storytelling\, history\, and critical thinking—no gaming expertise required.\n\nAbout the Instructor \nEllyssa Valenti Kroski is the Director of Innovation & Engagement at the New York Law Institute as well as an award-winning editor and author of 77 books. She is a librarian\, an adjunct faculty member at San Jose State University\, and an international conference speaker.
