Why libraries? We work across the university. We care about teaching & learning. We have amazing spaces we could contribute. We want to explore new opportunities with you!

Goals

• Making at Penn

• Design Scenarios

• See & experience library spaces

• Have fun free-thinking with colleagues

Making

• Introduce yourself

• What do you like to make? Why?

• What’s the last thing you made?

• How would you explain the relationship between making and learning?

Summary Activity• Find a photo of something one of you likes to make &

project it on the wall

• Summarize your group discussion by annotating the image to show:

1. What the group likes to make

2. Terms that explain why the group likes to make

3. Things the group last made
