Cline Library collaborates with Upward Bound to provide students with hands-on STEM experiences

He contacted Janet Crum from library technology services, and she arranged the collaboration between Cline and Upward Bound. This summer, students had the opportunity to learn about 3-D printing, building circuits and video production.
