This year’s Information Power Summer Institute saw about 30 school librarians from every corner of Wyoming. It was a great time, getting together to share ideas and inspiration. Speakers presented on Digital Literacy, Makerspaces, AASL, ESSA, and technology. A hands-on playground was available for attendees to learn more about Makey Makeys, Lego Mindstorms, Ozobots, Little Bits, and 3D printing. A great time was had by all as connections were formed or renewed. School librarians and staff left the conference with new ideas just in time for the start of the 2016-17 school year.
