Rolling, Flying, and SMILE-ing


2012 White House Easter Egg Roll
Susan Hildreth, Institute of Museum and Library Services Director, blogged about STEM fun at the 2012 White House Easter Egg Roll, and about the new Let's Move! activity search engine created by Howtosmile.org for the IMLS Let's Move! Museums and Gardens initiative. The search engine includes hundreds of SMILE activities that get learners out of their chairs and moving while they're learning about STEM.

At the White House event, Hildreth helped kids and families make and fly paper kites and copters—both activities about flight from the Lawrence Hall of Science are among the Let's Move! activities.
