Inspire girls to see themselves in STEM careers with this AASL member 
opportunity!
AASL has partnered with the Carnegie Science Center: Girls Math & Science 
Partnership (GMSP) to inspire girls to see themselves in science, technology, 
engineering and mathematics (STEM) careers through gaming and online activities.

As part of the Can*TEEN Career Exploration initiative, the Carnegie Science 
Center has developed the Can*TEEN Trivia Wheel Library Interactive game, a new 
spin on the classic gaming style of multiple choice trivia questions. AASL, 
working with the Carnegie Science Center, and with support from the Motorola 
Foundation, will help distribute Can*TEEN Trivia Wheel Library Interactive 
toolkits to more than 2,500 school librarians serving children ages 10-14.

This offer is newly expanded to all states and any school librarian serving 
students ages 10-14.

School librarians who participate will receive a free kit for their school 
library and will be asked to complete a follow-up survey at the end of the 
school year. The survey will  evaluate how frequently the toolkit was checked 
out and how it was used in within the school. More information and the opt-in 
form can be found on the AASL website at www.ala.org/aasl/canTEEN.

More information on the Can*TEEN Career Exploration initiative can be found at 
www.canteengirl.org/library.

Want to see the game in action? Check out clips from recent playtests, featuring
