9:15 - 11:15 am — Wisconsin's own MacGyver Guys will provide an entertaining and informative session that will showcase free or almost free practical applications, tools, and devices to help you and your patrons discover new ways to use technology for work and play.  What are a few items? You could spend over $200 for a portable speaker, why not build the same thing for $2?  Don’t ditch your old smartphone, find out all the unique applications (like spying on your dog) that are still usable without a cellphone contract.  Ready to ditch your portable backup device but don’t understand the differences between Drive, OneDrive, or Dropbox? The MacGyver Matrix will walk you through which one is right for you.  And for other items? Let’s just say that there’s an app for that. You’ve paid for the whole seat, but you’ll only need the edge. Presenters: Jon Mark Bolthouse (Director, Fond du Lac Public Library) and Chris Grugel (Instructional Services Supervisor, Carthage College)

11:15 am - Noon — Launching in Fall 2016, the Coding Initiative in Wisconsin Public Libraries will increase awareness of the whys and hows of coding for library staff and library users of all ages. The project will demonstrate the role of public libraries in learning and use of technology, and increase resource sharing and continuing education collaboration among and between regional library systems. Find out what’s in store from one of the Initiative co-leaders Ryan Claringbole (Technology Consultant, Public Library Development Team, DPI, Madison)

1 - 2pm — choose one of these breakout sessions:
• 3D Printing in the Library. 3D printers can be a bit intimidating, but after this demo of Neenah Public Library’s new 3D printer, you’ll have a better understanding of the 3D printing process. You’ll also learn how the library has incorporated 3D printing into special programs and daily activities. Presenter: Richie Zaborowske, Adult Reference Librarian, Neenah Public Library

Presenters: Peg Burington (Director, Waupaca Area Public Library) and Sue Abrahamson, Children's Librarian (Waupaca Area Public Library) [ youth / tween / teen track ]
• Tools for Virtual Collaboration. Coordinating with colleagues can be difficult, especially if you don't share an office, a network, or even a zip code. For three years, WiLS has been learning lessons about tools that work for communicating with one another and libraries we work with from a fully virtual office. In this session, you'll learn about Slack and Airtable, two effective and free tools we have found to have many useful collaborative applications in sharing information and communicating. Presenters: Andrea Coffin (Community Liaison / Service Specialist, WiLS) and Lisa Marten (Financial Support Specialist & Administrative Coordinator, WiLS)

2:15 - 3:15pm — choose one of these breakout sessions:
• Tech Training: Doing Everything We Can With Whatever We Can Get. One of the biggest barriers to doing great technology training is feeling like you don't have the equipment, expertise, or audience. We went from doing a handful of mousing basics and Microsoft Office classes to offering coding camps for kids and Raspberry Pi workshops in just a few short years.  We'll discuss the broad variety of tech training programs we've done, how we developed the skillsets to do them, what equipment we've used and what we'd like to do in the future. Presenters: Joe Davies (Head of Adult & Digital Services, Kenosha Public Library), and Jen Fait (Head of Youth Services, Kenosha Public Library)
• Canva - Hands On! Learn the basics of Canva, as well as some tricks learned the hard way, while you create a poster for your library! Canva is a free online program that makes professional posters a snap to create. Bring your information for a poster, photos or other art, and any tips you have to share as well. Presenter: Kent Barnard (Director, Patterson Memorial Library, Wild Rose)
• The Ozobot. The Ozobot is a powerful tiny robot that expands STEM and computer science learning through a collection of game based activities and digital apps. Using simple color-based programming, the Ozobot can be used with paper and markers or with a digital app. This inexpensive robot is a great tool for introducing young children to robotics but can also be used in more complicated applications with teens. This session will be hands-on as participants will be given the chance to play and learn! Presenter: Terry Ehle (Youth Services Coordinator, Lester Public Library, Two Rivers) [ youth / tween / teen track ]
