Sci-fi, Storytelling, and New Media Literacy

September 1, 2012 | Public Programs

The article examines how school library programs are uniquely suited to initiate innovative thinking on how to leverage resources such as science fiction to help young people see the value of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) in their daily lives. The authors report on the Sci-Dentity project launched in January 2012 which involves the collaboration between researchers and librarians at the University of Maryland in designing ways to incorporate sci-fi to STEM.
