The Newton Free Library has received a one-year, $16,700 grant to expand its STEAM and coding programs to include robotics for children, teens, and adults.  The funds will be used to acquire HexBugs, littleBits, Kibo, Finch Robots, Lego WeDo, Arduino Learning Kits, and related furnishings and equipment.  The grant is from the Federal Institute of Museum and Library Services through the Library Services and Technology Act, administered by the Massachusetts Board of Library Commissioners.  The grant will enable the Library to offer ten free, hands-on programs this year — including last week’s What Me, Code? session and upcoming Arduino instruction.
