 Selection of the recipient will be made by the State Librarian of Ohio with the award presented at the September 17, 2019 Membership Meeting and Appreciation Breakfast.
Developing a Maker Mindset
Is your makerspace garnering the interest you first thought it would? Are you struggling to create programming that stems beyond crafting? Let me guide you through techniques to empower your patrons by encouraging them to develop a Maker Mindset: a combination of processes that include the Maker Empowerment Theory and the Stanford Design process to retrain our thought processes to recognize that learning begins at failure (not ends there), that we live in a designed world, and that we are able to change it through making.

Learning Objectives:

  *   Introduce how to develop a Maker Mindset for any librarian or patron, regardless of tech experience.
  *   Increase confidence through hands-on activities and program development with a variety of different technologies.
  *   Explore application of the Maker Mindset across a variety of environments: storytime, actual makerspaces, coding sessions, book club and more.
Presenter: Amy Zell ,  Teen and Patron Technologies Assistant at Hubbard Public Library,
is a self-proclaimed Maker after learning that she, too, has the wherewithal and resources to change the world through making.

You’ve segmented your target audiences and outlined your projects. You’ve chosen your overall strategies, set quantifiable goals, and determined specific tactics. Now it’s time for the vital step of writing messages that your targets will respond to. During this deep dive into wordsmithery, you’ll learn how to combine the art of language and the science of psychology to craft effective marketing communications. But this session will not be dry—expect interaction and laughter! We’ll include writing practice and evaluation.
