Arlington Elementary

Thanks to you we have everything we need for art projects for the school year. Thank you for supporting our students!

The Rushville Public Library has partnered with Indiana University to host a program called Familymakers. Rushville Public Library is one of seven rural libraries across the United States participating in this program. Here is a brief description of the program: Family Makers empowers rural children and caregivers to become problem solvers by immersing them in doing and seeing culturally relevant engineering. Family Makers is designed to leverage families' every day making practices, turning them into valuable learning resources for engineering. Our programming further grounds engineering in the lived experiences of engineers who grew up in rural communities to help families see the relevance of engineering. Family Makers takes a Research-Practice Partnership approach to co-design the curriculum with rural library staff and embeds learning supports for rural library staff to facilitate the Family Makers online programming. Together, we aim to lift barriers that a high population of rural children experience in engaging with engineering learning and to position rural libraries as key institutions to democratize engineering learning opportunities. This is an online session once a week for six weeks for children ages 5 - 10 They are offering families a payment of up to $300 to participate in all six sessions. This would require at least one parent and child to attend and participate. If the family does not have internet access and/or a mobile device, the researchers will provide the necessary equipment for participation.
