AIU STEAM Lending Library

Two Ways to Borrow:

1. BUILD KNOWLEDGE, THEN BORROW. Join us for a hands-on, exploratory day of training  with the items we have available in our lending library.  You'll build your confidence with our items, and you'll discover curriculum-aligned ideas for implementation.  Even if you are familiar with a few items we have, if you are curious about others, please attend! When the training is complete, take with you a class set of what you'd like to use!  You'll get to keep the items for approximately two months.  

     **Choose your training date  and register (same content at both): October 7, 2025 or January 13, 2026.  

         (Trainings take place at the Allegheny Intermediate Unit.)

2. JUST BORROW.  Do you already know precisely what you want to borrow and how to use/implement that item?  After each of the training days mentioned above, lending will open to those who do not to attend. (Those who attend the training will typically have first pick.)  

You will first complete a Request Form and schedule a 10-minute Zoom call with Rachel McVeagh (to review best practices and Lending Library procedures/expectations).

Once your items are confirmed via email from rachel.mcveagh@aiu3.net, you or someone from your district may schedule a time to pick up items on the designated days.  

**Pick-up days for this option will be held at the Allegheny Intermediate Unit from. Contact rachel.mcveagh@aiu3.net to coordinate.

Please contact Rachel McVeagh (rachel.mcveagh@aiu3.net) to coordinate all pick-ups and returns.
