Miria Webb is a 24-25 ambassador for MIT’s Public Library Innovation Exchange, also known as PLIX. PLIX co-designs creative STEAM activities with public library professionals and MIT researchers and offers professional development to facilitate creative learning to support STEM confidence. Miria is one of fourteen ambassadors across the country and, along with her cohort, has received training on best practices for implementing STEAM programming and is in the middle of facilitating a series of STEAM programs at her library using the information she’s learned in those trainings and on the PLIX forums. During this session, participants will learn about the ambassador program, learn about the PLIX programs and forums, learn about some of PLIX’s facilitation methods, and get hands-on experience with some of the program’s projects.
