Meath County Council's Library Service Launches STEAM Kits Collection

Meath County Council's Library Service launched the STEAM kits collection, which includes themed activities and books on a variety of subjects for children over eight, at the Swift Cultural Centre in Trim yesterday (Monday).

These kits, which follow on from Meath County Council's Library Service's successful STEAM backpacks initiative, supported by Meta, were provided following funding of €15,000 from the Meta Clonee Data Centre Community Action Grants, and are now available at all 15 libraries in Meath.

With nine different kits in total to choose from, each kit includes themed activities and books on topics ranging from astronomy, water, creative and robotic coding, maths, music, circuits and electricity.

"The kits are a great way for children and adults to join in and make learning a fun experience together, showing how STEAM ideas are part of everyday life", said County Librarian Maedhbh Rogan-McGann.

"This initiative is all about helping young people think critically, solve problems, and be creative. Let’s get the next generation excited about exploring the world around them!

"Please visit any Meath Library to borrow a kit and start your adventure. If the kit you want is already checked out, you can reserve it for later."
