Session tools / Instructions
After our keynote talk, we will divide into five groups, each organized around one of the five STEAM areas (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, Mathematics). Each group will get four search challenges, each related to a different type of search (Power Search, Scholar Search, Image Search, Archive Search). Do the searches in order – the challenge is for each group to complete as many of the searches as possible, and record on the results document both what they found and how they found it! Good luck!
