The Popular Teens Engineer BHM Gets Students Excited about Math and Science
by Pam Jessie, Woodlawn Branch Library
In January three Birmingham Public Library locations (Central, Southside, and Woodlawn) resumed their highly successful teen program, Teens Engineer BHM.
Teens Engineer BHM is an ongoing program that focuses on middle and high school students with an interest in math and science. The program was formed as the result of BPL teen librarian Lance Simpson’s partnership with the UAB School of Engineering. BPL applied for and was awarded the UAB Benevolent Fund grant, which has helped to purchase computers and other supplies necessary for the success of the program.
The students at Woodlawn Library thoroughly enjoyed this program in the fall of the school year and are ready to get started this spring. All middle and high schoolers are welcome and don’t worry if you miss a week—the projects are designed so that you won’t “fall behind” on what’s being done. Students are welcome to come when time allows.
Teen Engineer BHM is offered at the following locations and times:
Southside Branch Library
Tuesdays from 3:30 to 5:00 p.m.
Central Library
Wednesdays from 3:30 to 5:00 p.m.
Woodlawn Branch Library
Thursdays from 3:30 to 5:00 p.m.
For information on how to register for these programs or to learn more about them, visit the BPL event calendar.
