Chicago Public Library (CPL) launched the 2018 Rahm’s Readers Summer Learning Challenge. This summer, the Earth Explorers will be challenged to read 20 minutes a day, participate in STEAM activities and investigate earth systems science, environmental literacy and climate resiliency. All CPL branches, in partnership with the Museum of Science and Industry (MSI), will facilitate the summer challenge. This summer’s Earth Explorers theme will highlight ways in which Chicago children can learn about environmental issues and how to be strong global citizens. Among the thousands of interactive programming and events for kids and families throughout the city, students will participate in building terrarium landfills, live trout raising tanks, and play-based learning around the issues of recycling and renewable resources. Programming will also include a range of science experiments, singalongs, story times, in-branch animal visits, concerts and art projects.
