Leap into Science

The Detroit Zoological Society and the Library of Michigan are excited to announce the return of Leap into Science training for public libraries. Participating public libraries will receive information and training on what you need to run the Leap "Light & Shadow," "Wind," and "Balance" based STEM programs.

Leap into Science is a nationwide program developed by The Franklin Institute Science Museum that integrates open-ended science activities with children's books, designed for children ages 3-10 and their families. The program empowers educators to offer workshops in community settings like libraries, museums, and out-of-school time programs to engage underserved audiences in accessible and familiar settings. Attending this training would make you a Partner Organization in our on-going Michigan Cohort.

Instructor: Zahraa Aljebori, Curator of Education at the Detroit Zoological Society and Cathy Lancaster, Youth Services Coordinator, Library of Michigan.
