Cilj. Rad ukazuje na značaj organiziranja i provođenja STEM-programa, značaj edukacije, poticanja na inovativan i kreativan rad, usmjeravanja, osvještavanja novih tehnologija i njihove primjene kod djece i mladih. Pristup/metodologija. Rad opisuje provedbu STEM-radionica u Gradskoj knjižnici Zadar te metodom anketnog upitnika ispituje zadovoljstvo polaznika radionica, učenika 5., 6. i 7. razreda osnovnih škola. Rezultat. Iz rezultata provedenog istraživanja uočeno je izrazito zadovoljstvo sudionika organizacijom i ponuđenim sadržajem edukativnih STEM-programa u Gradskoj knjižnici Zadar. Praktična primjena. Knjižničari i učenici osnovnih i srednjih škola kao aktivni sudionici STEM-programa razmjenom iskustava, pripremom programa i edukacijom razvijaju svoje vještine, usvajaju nova znanja o korištenju 3D-printera, 3D-skenera i 3D-olovke, kao i osnova 3D-modeliranja i područja robotike (sastavljanje robotskih setova, osnove robotike, grafičkog programiranja i elektronike). Originalnost/vrijednost. Rad nastoji ukazati na potrebu i značaj kontinuiranog provođenja STEM-programa u knjižnicama za djecu i mlade. Donosi pregled drugih STEM-inicijativa u Hrvatskoj. U radu se pored opisanih primjera STEM-programa koji se provode u Gradskoj knjižnici Zadar navodi i niz tehničkih podataka i popis opreme koja je korisna knjižničarima zainteresiranim za organizaciju i provedbu STEM-programa. Purpose. The paper points out the importance of the organization and implemen-tation of STEM programs, education, motivation for innovative and creative work, guidance, and raising awareness of children and youth about new technologies and its applications. Approach/Methodology. The paper describes the implementation of STEM work-shops in the Zadar Public Library and examines, by means of a survey questionnaire, the satisfaction of 5th, 6th and 7th grade elementary school students who participated in the workshops. Results. Analysis of the conducted research shows the high level of participant’s satisfaction with the organization and the content of the educational STEM programs of the Zadar Public Library. Practical use . As participants of STEM programs, librarians and elementary and high school students develop their skills and acquire new knowledge about using 3D printers, 3D scanners and 3D pens together with the basics of 3D modelling and robotics (assembling of robotic sets, robotics basics, graphical programming and electronics). Originality/Value. The paper strives to emphasize the need for continuous conduct-ing of STEM programs for children and youth at libraries . It also brings an overview of other STEM initiatives in Croatia. Besides the described Zadar Public Library STEM programs, the paper also brings an array of technical information and equipment useful for librarians interested in the organization and implementation of STEM programs.
