<p class="MsoPlainText"><span style="color:#212121"> We’re looking in to acquiring and circulating STEM kits for public library use. I know many of you have done this and I was hoping you could share your getting started experience. I’d especially appreciate
hearing:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span style="color:#212121">What type of kits do you have and how many did you start out with?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span style="color:#212121">Which type of kit has been the most successful?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span style="color:#212121">Did you assemble the kit yourself or did you use a vendor to help select and package tools/materials?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span style="color:#212121">How are you evaluating your kits?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#212121"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
