    • Abstract:
      The article discusses how the U.S. Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) gave the National Leadership Grant to the Free Library of Philadelphia in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania for the library's Maker Jawn initiative which offers expanded science, technology, engineering, arts, and math (STEAM) programming in Maker spaces. Topics include how programming is aimed at teenagers, the etymology of the word "jawn," and the program's support from local universities such as Temple University.
