Breakout & project updates
Teen Tech Team: Makey program on March 5 — Chris is working on a lesson plan and already has a basic framework. He’s written an introduction. He and Nathan have decided to include a competition-like learning module for this program. He and Nathan will continue working on the lesson throughout February.
PR Team: Maya and Cady designed buttons for our upcoming Welcome to Night Vale Listening Party. Maya is also in the process of designing the “game board” instructions for the teen Summer Reading program; this is her weekly project until the Feb. TAB meeting where she will present it to the rest of the group.
Readers Advisory Team: Kara and Madison worked on selecting titles for the YA Book Club for meetings in April – August; they also checked the titles in our inventory and discussed who will lead the discussions. Meanwhile, Hadley is working on a blog post listing their selections from the Frost-bot Frenzy display.
Teen Relations: Haneen and Julia worked on gathering and calculating votes for the TAB shirts. They demonstrated the design (front/back, colors) to the other members and a few debated on the best option for all of them. Haneen and Julia assembled the orders.
Design Advisory: Meanwhile, Meep is helping to shift the YA collection to create a new space for a NEW books section in Teen Central. The display shelves have also been shifted along. It is estimated that we’ll have a NEW YA books section by the first week of February.
