My name is Jennifer Peterson, I am thrilled to be here hosting today's session and our webinar. Today's session will be recorded and we'll post the recording later today, I will send you an e-mail once it is posted and I will also end you a certificate automatically for attending today's session. If you would like to share this event with your community or trustees, know that all who work, volunteers or study libraries are welcome to access in the learning catalog thanks to the support of OCLC and state agencies across the country. If you are new to Web junction, one of the best ways to stay up to date on all things Web junction and new projects and programs and resources, ub subscribe to cross roads. I will post that to our chat and you can get that page subscribed. We have created a Learner Guide, it is designed for you to walk through a couple of questions to consider or discuss, as well as some activities. We encourage you to customize the guide. We provide this resource for you to take your learning with your team to the next level, and again, you can customize the guide and make it your own as well. Don't miss out on that option. I am going to go ahead and introduce our presenters today. I am thrilled to invite my colleague of 16 years, Betha Gutsche who's on the Web junction team. She's retiring but moving onto all sorts of wonderful adventures. We are glad that you came back Betha to present this session with us. This is an area of great interests and passion for Betha. We are so happy she's come to share that. Ash Kunz at the library north Central Washington and our Vivienne Byrd at the Los Angeles public library. We are so glad to have you here. I am going to get Betha to get us kicked off. Thank you so much for being here, all three of you. >> Betha: Thank you so much, your introduction is always to generous. Thank you for letting me present this topic. It is something that I have been interested in for a long time and have some passion around. I am really glad to see there are so many of you who are also very interested. Today we'll start by giving a brief overview of what is science literacy and why it matters for adults. Then, we'll go through as a progression of levels of engagement of adults around science starting with the first level of hands-on play and fun. We'll hear from Ash from her Beer 'n Bots program and we'll hear from Vivienne of her participation of the BioBlitz project and I am going to touch on Community Science and we'll go deeper and engage with adults. I would like to encourage everyone to post in chat and post questions and comments if you have examples of programs you are doing or you know about that we would like to see all that. We collect it and share it after the webinar. Starting with let's just get clear of what we are talking about and why we are talking about it. I think this is a good definition of science literacy. It is the knowledge and understanding of scientific concepts and processes required for personal decision making, participation in Civic and cultural affairs, and economic productivity. We are not talking about science literacy meaning people who have taken courses or gotten degrees in advance degrees with the intention of pursuing science as a profession. This is science knowledge that's really important for individuals to conduct their lives in our current society. Adults need science literacy every bit as kids do. They have curiosity. If they don't, science programs can really stimulate to really understand and be able to ask smart questions about what's going on in their everyday lives. It is also moving further into being able to identify science issues that relate to national and local decisions that they are asked to make and be able to evaluate the validity since science always shows up in the popular press and not always accurate science and getting to the level to be able to define science challenge and collect evidence and seek solutions around it. So, we know libraries have been very wonderful adesktoppters of stem programs. That's happening all around schools. That's fantastic. The priority and the focus emphasis is still on the children's learning of science. I really want to see this expands to adults for all the reasons we see here, and acknowledging that many libraries do have science programs that are lecture series or book clubs, or science cafes. These are wonderful. They also tend to be more passive where the participants are receiving information, maybe discussing it but still it is more passive and also tends to be preaching to the choir.what I want to look at today with our core presenters and their wonderful examples is the kind of programs adults are actually doing science. So, doing that hands-on and really digging in. We'll take some cues with the science technology museums and these wonderful programs at libraries. And, woops -- I think I missed something. Oh, so, this is why the importance of why adults-only programming instead of family programming. As I said satisfies that curiosity, when the adults programming is designed just for them, it keeps the adults actively engaged in learning how to play with science, learning how to incorporate science into their questions or investigations and developing that passion for it. Once you have that passion that science literacy is going to expand and explode, and connect science with the meaningful things they want to learn with their lives. So, I mentioned in the topics that we are going to go through this progression. I am going to go through each of these levels briefly, starting with the hands-on"hands-on play and fun," this is about understanding the science for that wonder and sense of awe. Why should adults have fun like the kids are? Why should they be learning to code and playing with electronic circuits and learning how to run and operate and design for 3-D printing. All of these things that's really engaging. This is the in direct approach to science. Instead of saying to adults, hey, we'll have science learning come to the library, it is like hey come to the library and play with some cool things and oh, by the way, there is a science behind it. It is like putting the spinach in the smoothie, you get the health benefits and you get to enjoy it and gets the sweet, pleasant taste. Ash is going to tell us of the program. There is a link in chat I hope for a webinar. The name is "stem program," I encourage you to watch the second half of this webinar because it is all about the successes and challenges of adults only stem fun programming, of the kinds of things they were doing with kids. This was in a rural library so well worth watching. Then moving onto level two, "citizen science," this is something most of you have heard about. This is cultivating an interesting science in research. This is projects that are defined by scientists or signsign scientific organization. Vivienne is going to talk about her BioBlitz which is one of these widespread citizens effort. You can find a ton of examples at the starter website. You can spend a lot of time going down that rabbit hole, learning about monitoring soils or stream testing or I like this one, safety for city birds, tracking the bird window collisions in your neighborhood. This start up website is really tailored really tailor-maid to get you started. It is beautiful laid out and a great way to get started. Then, moving into the third level, very briefly the citizen science is initiated by external entities, the key difference is community science comes within a community. I am going to talk about it in more details later. But, it is sort of takes the citizen science and makes it more focused and empowering the community members from within to lead their own research. All of these levels definitely enhanced science literacy in adults. They are all very important. But, at this point, I would like to turn it over to Ash and hear all about the Beer 'n Bots program which sounds like a lot of fun. >> Ash: Thank you, Betha, thank you for having me today. I am really excited to be here. I am the stem service manager in a rural regional library system in North Central Washington. I want to give you a little bit of context in that. We have over 30 branches and two of which is considered urban. A lot of the stuff we do is highly adaptable depending on the kind of community you are serving. Hands-on fun. Adult literacy for adults is something that we didn't really offer until 2019. We piloted the program then. We really wanted to focus the opportunity on curiosity and hands-on learning and the ability to just play. With some of these really cool equipment pieces that we offer in our children and youth programming. So, some of the big outcomes of this is just that opportunity for play which does not happen in science education for adults that I really see. You are also really building an engaged community that spends time learning together. As we go through this, I am also going to talk about what's going on in the photos so that you can see because as much as I talk about this, I think that the photos actually speaks a lot louder than anything I can say. You can see these two individuals are playing with the Lego robotics EV3 which has a building an engineering component and you can code it as well. Like I said, we originally piloted this program in 2019, we had a really, really good feedback coming from that. We didn't really have programming that was just focused on adults. It was always in conjunction and a family program or youths specific. We were like where do our adults gather? And for us and a lot of the communities that we serve, we are in the Pacific northwest, we like our beer up here. We partnered with a lot of breweries in the area to provide programs called Beer 'n Bots. It creates an atmosphere that's specifically for the adults, verses having it with that family kind of orientation. I know both of these people personally. Both of them before this program have used our library mostly as a book checkout and have not engaged in programming like this. One of the biggest benefits I see to this kind of programming is really low barrier. It is not the intimidating I need to know what my science is or I need to have a background in it. We get to have fun, you build community, and you are able to center this learning around play in a low pressure area. So, when thinking about where we can provide these programs, like I said in a lot of our communities, we did them in pubs or breweries, however, some of our communities are small enough that they don't have any sort of service beyond the library itself and maybe a post office. That was when we were able to really transition and use our community partnership to use the community space for folks to gather and build those partnerships with other organizations that is are not already doing programming for adults, or as an affinity group or a club or other learning centers. We are really leveraging those relationships to build a bigger community that can focus on that access to stem and education and not in an intimidating way. I found it super fun for people to gather. In this photo, you can see this individual is using what we called a makey-makey. Board, they here, they are usingusing playdo and banana. I think it is really fun. In these photos on the left, you are seeing hero robotics. We just created like a container out of PPC pipes and pool noodles. This is really low barrier. This is almost no coding. You just kind of drive people around and allowing people to have access to play and becoming comfortable with technology that they may not have access to. The other photo, that individual is wearing a virtual reality headset. And, so some of the big things that come out of this is how do you choose the right space for your community and what are the kinds of activities that you are going to use. So, a lot of it going to depend on what your community has available to them for spaces. We have done things like I have said in pubs and community spaces. We have done some things outside depending on what it is. You want to look at the spaces and how many people are going to show up. I have talked a little bit about some of the stuff we have done based on the photos. I have found that activities that are really technical tend to create that intimidation factor. However you can break that barrier down by the community orientation of the program and when you have people working together to problem-solve, it does cut a lot of that scare factor. One of the things that I really like to think about with these things is I don't have to be an expert with any of these activities. Having a base knowledge is really important so you can turn the equipment on and off. However, you are all here to learn together and you as the facilitator of the program can also have that opportunity to play and have that hands-on engagement and learning and curiosity based projecting. All that to be said is super technical things can be a challenge. In the previous photo, we have the VR headset. Other people can watch that person and sometimes it is hilarious to watch their arms wave around the air. I have found things like in the top photo of this slide or the item below, there is no rules and there is no right or wrong way. There is no instructions that come with it. It is a bunch of boards and wheels and bolts that people put together and build whatever it is they feel like building. So, a lot of the big impacts and outcomes of this is that we want people to feel unintimidated by the activities that we have coming into this. They don't need to have that background of science or technology that they can come and learn and play together. With participants that come with this, they connected with other participants to continue to do projects and learning. It does not feel as scary to learn those kinds of things. I have one more slide of these -- some more photos and activities we have done. If you are going left to right here, we have a group of people doing more robotics with the coding portion of it. The next photo over is brain-fbrain-flicy brain-flict. This is a free build that you create cool things. Other items that you can have is have a tub of Legos that people can build. The next photo is make-do, we bring a bunch of card boards and there are little screws that you can build really fun things. I think we had a curriculum where you can build a little dog. There is one more image there of VR headsets. So, I have a little bit of time to answer some of the questions that have popped into the chat. >> Betha: It is great that you have time because there are questions in the chat. A lot of curiosity. There are curiositys of the nature of the programming. Beginning with -- are the programs all drop-in? You don't know who's coming or who has previous experience. It is all just anybody showing up and do it? >> Ash: For this particular is definitely a drop in. It is more of teaching people of a type of a skill and less of a play. >> Betha: Is there a grade level content? You want to make it approachable or assessable by the adults but you don't want to see too simple or demeaning over their intelligence, how do you balance that? >> Ash: A lot of the items that we bring, I would like to base it at a fifth grade level. I would do some of the coding and robotics with fifth and sixth graders. There are ways to add on extra challenges or making it harder so you can build, so it does not feel like we are condescending people's ability levels. >> Betha: Great. Do all the programs involved alcohol? I am guessing not. >> Ash: Not all of them. We have a few communities that don't have pubs or locations, that's not the community vibe. We'll do those in the community space and then one of the big reasons that we partner with pubs because that's where a lot of our young adults gathering. We were meeting them where they were at. And, I also feel like the alcohol can take some time down that scary barrier but we definitely don't center everything around alcohol. >> Betha: Great. How are you funding this? >> Ash: I have a department budget. Most of this is coming out of the equipment that we purchase and I will take it to different locations. Most of the time I get my spaces for free because it is mutually beneficial program for both the location and us because it exposes community members who may not use that location to that organization or people who are already there exposed to the library resources. >> Betha: Great, there are some nuts and bolts questions about make-do kids or brain-flict, somebody would like to know the websites that you are getting from. That's something I think we can do offline. How do you make it clear that it is for adults so people don't bring their kids. You would think it is in a pub or a Tavern, I was in a Tavern on Friday night and there were so many little kids running around. Is that important and how do you make that specific? >> Ash: Part of the reasons we start to do it in a bar or a pub because of that factor. We tend to do it at night when hopefully kids are either in bed or you can easily get a babysitterbabysitter. We also market them as adult STEM program and our graphic designs for the market of that. When people come to them, if you really want your kids there, it is fine but you are in charge of the instruction with them. >> Betha: I will take one more question. It was somebody who self-proclammed as non-scienceynon-sciencey, where do you get your ideas from? >> Ash: I spend a lot of time on Pinterest. That's where I get a lot of my ideas from. I get feedback from parents, I wish I can play with these things and it looks so much fun. I took a lot of those curriculum or same lessons that you can find for youth programs and just offer it to adults. >> Betha:that's great. That would be my guess. There are so many STEM programming and if it works for kids, why not for adults but maybe adaption. Thank you so much. This is great. I want to move forward to make sure we have enough time to hear from Vivienne, all about the BioBlitz citizen project at Los Angeles public library. >> Vivienne: Thank you Betha and our Web junction and our hosting this city wide BioBlitz challenge. I am going to go ahead, I will start by giving a little bit of background information about our Los Angeles public library, we are a large metropolitan library, we have 73 locations all together. One second -- just like many libraries out there, we have been dabbling in science programming for a long time. In 2018, we piloted an LSTA-funded science. With decided to use the term neighborhood science rather than the more common term citizen science in order to avoid the confusion not only U.S. citizens are allowed to participate and also to emphasize the program is the program's inclusivity as well as local and community-based focus. Sorry - there we go. So while the neighborhood science program was, when we designed it, it was for all ages. We focus on empowering families in the communities who are vulnerable to the impact of these environmental issues. Threw this neighborhood science initiative, Los Angeles public library offers a variety of in-person and online programs at our neighborhood science branches to enhance participants environmental and science literacy and engage them in taking parts citizen science projects handshands-on and sharing our findings. We encourage community leadership and responses. We created what we called the "do it yourself circulation kit," anyone with a Los Angeles public library card can check out these kits to learn about the issues and participate in that particular citizen science research project around their home at their own pace. As local residents go through the steps to collect their own data, they can see firsthand how close to home of distant environmental issues are and how they are affecting their daily lives. Currently, we have a total of seven different kits on several different locally environmental issues. We are working on updating all of them. Once it is completed, we'll provide these kits in different languages, including Spanish, Japanese, Korean n and Farsharsee. In 2021, to introduce the citizen science and raise awareness of habitat production, Los Angeles public library and the bio diversity research team of L.A. department Environment, we clob collaborated and launched the city of mapping of wildlife implants using a popular site called I-naturalist. It is now city wide annual event. To ensure the inclusivity of the program, we translate the materials into Spanish and will translate into all other languages in this year's annual BioBlitz challenge. Just in case if you are not familiar with the term BioBlitz, it is an event that focuses on findings and identifying as many species as possible in a specific area over a short period of time. At a BioBlitzBioBlitz, community members and students and teachers will work together to get a snapshot of bio diversity, these events can happen at any geography, it can be in areas as small as the backyard or as large as a country. The goal of LA public library BioBlitz challenge are to document the city's existing native bio diversity and to reduce the cold spots where there had not been any data for the city's bio diversity index. We also set some specific goals for the challenge. Number one, we want to increase community participation of photographs and indicator species, these are animals and fungi and plants. These are areas with no bio diversity data recorded or shared. We want to increase awareness and participation in public libraries neighborhood science programs and last but not least, we want to encourage residents of all ages to learn and understand the impact of urban environment and other environmental issues for their health and well-being. To keep the participants on the lookout for these indicate species, we created a digital game card that contains images of 38 species provided by the research team. We are focused on the indicator species because their presence provide an important insight on the overall health of local ecosystem and the quality of natural habitat in the city. With the health of the research team, we embedded an interactive map of the observation spots to our BioBlitz challenge website. The map, if you look on the screen right now is a mixture of white and green pixels. The various shades of green indicates the amount of data that's been received. Our goal is to turn as many widete pix ms els to green. What we found out is when they do that, that actually get them excited and wanted to go out and be that first person to contribute that piece of data. And, although the map does not update in realtime to reflect a new data submitted, we made sure to provide the updated map when we are halfway through or at the end of the challenge. It does not come to a surprise when we tooked a closer look that most of the spots are located in the under served or industrialized area. That becomes our first challenges, one of major challenges that how we can reach out to these stakeholders or members of these communities. After some brainstorming, we asked the bio diversity research team to help us map out all of the community parks, all of the community parks and schools in those observation close spots. We share them as a call for action through our promotional channels, social media, we share the maps with our librarians and our local schools. We leverage on people's interests of photographing with their phones. We created a promotional feed on social media calling all the photography enthusiasts to join the fun of photographing these wild species around their home. They're aware they are located in these observation close spots. When they host programs, they would conduct some of the battle Blitz and their site. Our branch library would continue throughout the BioBlitz time and they would host a variety of program such as nature walk, just around the blocks, bio diverse scavenger hunt and things like that to engage the local residents or the regular patrons who walk into the building. The BioBlitz challenge is really a win-win campaign for the city and the residents of Los Angeles. Looking at the 2021 challenge and 2022 challenge, we have a lot of interesting findings. Also, we got a lot of great news. One of which is we collected over 23 thousand observations and we found maps and identified 31 of one of the 38 indicator species. In the first year, we were able to reduce the close spot by 16%. The second year, we were able to reduce it by 7%. In both years, we found out that red tail Hawks and Herons are most indicated species. The city offers good quality habitat for these two species to thrive. We also found out that majority of participants are adults, while again when we promote this, we did promote it as a family program. It could be because that the I-naturalist requires participants to be 18 or above, that could be one of reasons. Looking at the participants who join the project, we noticed pretty much all of them are adults. And, also we noticed that the participants who took part in the 2021 BioBlitz, they came back and contribute in 2022. You can find all these information once you create a page on I-naturalist. This is something that we didn't anticipate. We did offer the completion priceiez draw prize drawing. These prizes are not -- we created a nature exploration kit that came with a solar power bank. We put sustainability to create this kit and we have a water bottle made of recycled plastic. Everything is 100% reusable and sustainable but that was for the first time we had a program here that people were not, the reward was no the prize. It was the fun contributing to science project and to something bigger. This slide is a collage of some of the photos data participants submitted and shared with us on the I-naturalist through our challenge project page. And from the random feedback that we received, participants really appreciate the opportunity to explore and connect with their neighborhoods while helping the city crowd source bio diversity data that are needed to protect the ecosystem and wildlife habitat. Participants are not only learning the importance of the city of Los Angeles being in one of the 36 Global bio diversity hot spots but also the purpose of mapping the indicator species. They are also discovering and learning about invasive species around their home that are hazardous to their community. Some of them found threaten species are living in their neighborhood. Many participants also began noticing the frequency of road kills in certain parts of the community and making that association with city bio diversity loss and sharing the ideas on conservation and protection needs. Now, for the city, this 23,000 piece of data that they had, it was very helpful for their research team that number one, they were better to understand the distribution of different species of plants and animals and equality of natural habitat within the city's boundaries especially within the observation close spot. They were able to identify the critical location. They were able to measure the progress of the conservation effort that are currently in place. Most importantly, what we found out is the bio diversity research team used the data extensively to help them complete one of LA's city most comprehensive bio city index which was published in 2022. Going forward, the data will continue to serfserf -- serve as a baseline of ecosystem and wildlife habitat. I want to share a few testimonials from the participants. They are the reasons Los Angeles public library continues to advocate for citizens and neighborhood science in the library. Not only BioBlitz but majority of science projects can be done anywhere. Libraries of any types and sizes can become a citizen or a neighborhood science hub. It is a neutral and inclusive pace space for people to learn to contribute. I hope you all will join me in doing that. Thank you so much. >> Betha: Thank you so much, Vivienne. I think we have time for a couple of questions. I am not sure if I want interpreting the question right. Somebody asks, is this a digital event that's promoted or did you have a program at the library that jump started the initiative and you sent people out in the field. >> Vivienne: We kicked it off during the pandemic. The first year was all visual. We did have a kickoff program that we invited the researcher team to help us kickoff the BioBlitz challenge for both years. Last year we did some of our branches were able to host in-person nature walks. We partnered with a lot of local nurseries and local gardens to host these nature walks, they were doing a lot of BioBlitz. We are doing both now. >> Betha: Great. I am curious of how much of the structure of the program is provided by the over archarching citizen programs. Did you have templates or mapping tools or something you generated? >> Vivienne: The map was generated based on our request that the bio diversity research team in LA was able to create based on our request because they understand who we are trying to reach and they want to be able to reach them. They have the expertise which we don't have to create the map. >> Betha: Great, I will take one more question. What are the needs on Tuesday? >> Vivienne: Over the pandemic, we hosted a series of Tuesday, every Tuesday during the month of March and April, it was to engage people during the pandemic and keep environmental issues in their minds. So, we were hosting that on a weekly basis. Every week we have a special guests coming from different organizations to the city of Los Angeles to talk about the environmental issues and then we also want to learn about the sustainable practices that they can do at home. That's what we are doing. It covers pretty much all the important topics like from air quality to water quality to led poisoning and pollution and things like that. >> Betha: Wonderful. I can tell by other comments there are a lot of people who are excited about this. Thank you so much for sharing. I am going to move us forward and maybe you can answer the question in chat. What was the plant to animal species ratio in the data. I want to move on and talk about this community science idea. This could be a whole webinar in of itself. I want to plant some seeds and spark some ideas and set some aspiration for how your library can do something like this. It builds on citizen science. I like neighborhood science. Let's call it that. It builds in many ways but with the key differences I said before is, it is instigated within a community. They are identifying the research questions and conducting and collecting data according to what is of highest priority and most interest to their communities. With that said, it does come from within, it is usually facilitated by a partner organization that's necessarily to get things started, to provide context, provide external expertise, and direction. There is a program that you can look at. I think there is a link in chat, the youth climate program, yes, it is about youth. I don't see why it could not be about adults. I am excited about this because of the convergence of so many important things. It is science literacy, it is community health, it is community empowerment, it is the environment and climate change. There is a big equity component to it. I just find it very compelling to investigate. The association of science and technology centers for ASTC has been given this a lot of serious attention for a while now. They developed a whole framework about I want. There is a link, I encourage you to go look at that. When you do, take the time to watch the 7.5 minutes video. As you are watching, any time you hear science center can do more to Foster community science, substitute the word "library" in there and think of the potential. Key attributes, very nicely, the first one is centers community priorities is really the essence. Something that differentiates it from neighborhood science. It starts from a particular community priorities and then that second attribute also, very, very important and respecting community strengths. So, honoring the local motivation and the local knowledge and understanding and live experience is huge. On the outcome side, I am going to zone in on that one, increase science agency. This is, I think is the height of science literacy when you are actually fostering that ability to act on the world in personal and meaningful ways to use on science. That's huge. It is all about very sensitive community discovery because you don't want to be walking into a community saying I think you need this and we'll work for you on this. It is really approaching with empathy and approaching with ideas of collaboration. How can we work with you? First, we need to understand that we don't want to influence or sway. We want to empower you. Fortunately, there are a lot of tools that are available for this to make it feasible for you to do this sensitive discovery. These small libraries tool kit has a section focusing on community discoveries with tools and strategies for less cons conventional way of uncovering needs. And the STEM of education has a wealth of resources, this is really big in terms of really honoring what's already there and what people are already initiating and paying attention to. And then the ASTC is part of their framework, they have this whole dialogue and deliberation tool kit which is all about methods for engaging community members and discussions and service community priorities and support their decision-making. And, partnership is really key. Partnership with science is key. It is unlikely that a community is going to have internally the kind of scientific education that you need to really define a research question and understand the processes involved in collecting data and interpreting. So, it is important to connect with scientists and organizations. Look for ones that can communicate effectively with non-scientists. You are probably like me, I have been in a number of conversations or recipient of lectures from scientists who are knowledgeable about the field but not very skillskilledull in communicating to me in a way that I can understand. There is an organization, the institute for learning innovation which is as a whole program and series of events that are educating sciences on how to talk effectively to the public. There is a portal for the public is one of their programs and it is definitely a work for our effort. I celebrate them for doing that. So, I hope this is really just a fly over a very brief but I hope it stimulated your curiosity. I see how citizens science can feed into community science because once a neighborhood is involved in an external organized project, it starts to awaken them in this community. So, a great place to start and build on. I want to take the last few minutes of our program today, and I want to know what inspires you. Please post in chat. Do you have an a STEM program that you have been offered to kids that you want to try working on with adults. Are you interested in trying citizen project or are you at all interested in starting to explore or investigate what a community science project may look like? How would you approach your community and how would you understand what their priorities may be and how to engage them? So, thank you for all the appreciation, and still hoping for some ideas, hero, I love this. The summer reading challenge. Now, it is flying too fast for me and too absorbed. The summer reading challenge all together now to reunite adults around our STEM programming and that theme. That's really an exciting idea. Something you know how to do and expanding it. Great kind of way to investigate and get started. Oh, your library is on a submarine based with young sailor. I love the idea to do a BioBlitz with folks. What a great environment to connect. Diane is working on specific programming for emerging adults. That sounds great. Wonderful. Really good ideas. Oh, okay, focusing on social determinant of health and using the science approach to understand community health. This, for example, you are doing VR glasses to understand the experience of someone with Schizophrenia, really break down those barriers, understanding mental health. Great idea of health resources. Have parents as adults, or how about adults without their kids. Understand the use of 3D printers. There are 3D printing processes that can be used for health outcomes for communities for individuals. So, I am really glad you are excited about this. Another one -- using the I-naturalist which sounds like an amazing APP. I am going to download and investigate it myself. And incorporate that into the walk and talk program. That's really using that application that exists and adding to the layer to a program that you are already doing. Excellent. Wow, this is all really exciting and really wonderfulwonderful. Taking your kids to new tech items. Somebody had asked about funding. You probably, if you are doing stem for kids, you probably have a lot of equipment already that you can just repurpose for adult programming. A tech petting zoo for seniorsseniors - tech petting zoo from been around for a long time. How about a STEM petting zoo for adults and just let them explore.

Amazing work going on already and lots of activities in chat to indicate that folks are either doing great work or eager to apply all the great work you are doing. A reminder, too, that the Learner Guide is a great resource Betha created to help you take some of the next steps, be sure to check out the Learner Guide, that's a great way to start. They provided their contact information for us here. Know that you are encouraged to reach out if you have specific questions. Follow-up on the ideas of collecting some of the equipment and resources for your equipment. We'll add that information to the event page so know that we'll work on pulling together some of those resources. I know that changes overtime so of course we'll capture the current places and spaces where those are. Thank you so much to all of you. I will send you all an e-mail once the recording is posted later today. I will be sending all a certificate automatically for attending. As you leave today, we'll be sending you to a short survey to collect your feedback. We'll share that feedback with our presenters and it helps us guide our ongoing programming.
