Bots & Books @ Your Library

Chico Public Library is excited to announce participation in the ‘Bots & Books @ Your Library’ grant. This grant will provide the library with the supplies and training necessary to put on hands-on robotics programs aimed at 3rd through 5th graders. Children will be building and programming LEGO’s WeDo robotics kits to complete literature-based challenges from popular children’s books.

Robotics programming opens the door to science and technology careers for children by sparking interest in STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) subjects. Opportunities for informal science learning encourage children to consider science and technology careers. The library is a natural space for encouraging informal learning.

This program is a collaboration between the Chico Public Library, Connecting Texas Libraries Statewide, and the Texas State Library and Archives Commission to provide fun, informal learning for students all year round. This project is made possible by a grant from the Institute of Museum and Library Services to the Texas State Library and Archives Commission under the provisions of the Library Services and Technology Act.
