The Riverside County Library System (RCLS) is pleased to announce
that five libraries in Riverside County have been selected for the 2015
-2016 RCLS Studios Pilot Project. This program introduces Science,
Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) concepts to Riverside
County teens and pre-teens through 3D printers in public libraries.
With 3D printers, individuals can custom design objects using 3D
modeling software, exposing them to emerging technologies and
allowing them to use their imaginations to explore endless
possibilities.
In partnership with the Riverside County Office of Education’s STEM
Center, the program will assist in developing guidelines for using the
Library Makerspaces and to publicize Library STEM Programs within
our county. Funded by a Library Services and Technology Act (LSTA)
grant from the Institute of Museum and Library Services, each of the
selected RCLS libraries received a 3D scanner/printer, a laptop,
relevant library materials and training tools. During the initial grant
period (FY 2015-16), we anticipate reaching 1,000 Riverside County
teens.
