Ignite Learning: Community Nights for District Engagement in Literacy, Coding, and STEAM

This presentation showcases the JTPS Ignite Learning program, a replicable series of K–8 family engagement events centered on literacy, coding, and STEAM. Participants will learn how cross-building collaboration, library leadership, and student volunteers create dynamic community experiences that highlight the value of school libraries and technology programs. The session will provide practical planning tools, sample activities, promotional materials, and implementation tips to help educators launch similar programs that strengthen family involvement, boost student engagement, inspire cross-curricular interest in STEAM based learning, and advocate for library-centered learning.
