STAR Net's Keliann LaConte Selected as 2018-2019 Fullbright Global Scholar

Join us in congratuating Keliann as she will soon be traveling overseas to work with universities and public libraries on the topic of STEM learning. This summer, she will be hosted by the University of South Australia in Adelaide. During her visit, she hopes to learn more about STEM learning in Australian libraries, while also sharing about the amazing work and collaborations around STEM in U.S. public libraries.

Her project is designed to leave librarians, scientists, engineers, and educators with new ideas, resources, and collaborations for supporting STEM learning in libraries. To that end, she will be conducting research and providing professional development. Her work will provide a snapshot of the state of STEM learning efforts in Australian libraries and develop promising directions for ongoing collaboration at the intersection of STEM and libraries.

In the summer of 2018, NASA will launch the Parker Solar Probe. This small, car-sized spacecraft will travel into the Sun’s atmosphere, within four million miles of our star’s surface. Listen to Space Science Institute’s Brooks Mitchell and Dr. Paul Dusenbery to learn all about NASA’s first mission to “touch” the Sun and ways that your library can be involved.
