MCHENRY, IL – In its continuing effort to serve the growing Makerspace movement, Follett announced today it will sell a selection of LEGO® Education solutions. These solutions will be offered by Follett specifically for school librarians in the U.S. who are interested in establishing a Makerspace in their library.
The announcement was made in Phoenix at the 18th American Association of School Librarians (AASL) National Conference & Exhibition. At Follett’s booth (409), the company is featuring an array of Makerspace resources, including LEGO Education solutions.
“In the wake of the successful introduction of our Makerspace Bundles last year, selling LEGO Education solutions is a natural next step,” said Nader Qaimari, President, Follett School Solutions. “The LEGO Education solutions are a perfect fit for librarians to further promote STEM and 21st-century learning no matter what stage they are at with their Makerspaces.”
