This year I had the wonderful opportunity to present at the TX STEM Librarians Conference on behalf of UT Arlington Libraries and the Maker Literacies Task Force. I talked about the progress the Task Force has made so far, our plans for a fall pilot test of the Maker Literacies program, and challenges that lie ahead. My presentation was the last one of the day, but it provided a perfect bookend to the morning keynote speaker Dr. Dominick Casadonte, the Minnie Stevens Piper Professor in the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry at Texas Tech University.
