Will Library reopens at 9am on Tuesday, April 21

Will Library closed due to an issue with defective electrical equipment. That equipment has since been replaced, passed City of Yonkers electrical inspection, and power has been restored by Con Edison. 

YPL thanks the Mayor's Office, the Department of Engineering, the Department of Buildings and Yonkers Fire Department for their help in resolving this issue. We also thank our patrons for their patience and understanding.

Event Details

STEM/Technology

STEM is an acronym for science, technology, engineering, and math. These four fields share an emphasis on innovation, problem-solving, and critical thinking. 

Join iCAMP for some serious STEM fun!

Each week we’ll explore a different area of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering & Math) in a fun and creative ways!

*Registration required

Workshops are made possible through a grant from Con Edison.

Extreme Weather: Our Changing Climate Melting Glaciers
Students will learn about various ways that scientists know the climate is changing. They will understand what a glacier is, how it forms, why it melts due to rising temperatures, and the effects of melting glaciers on sea levels

Extreme Weather: Our Changing Climate: Air Pollution
Students will learn about the effects of air pollution and experiment to demonstrate how aerosols travel through air. With a partner they will understand how to protect themselves from the effects of polluted air.

Extreme Weather: Our Changing Climate: Building an Earthquake Resistant House
Students will explore how technology can save lives by building models of earthquake resistant houses and measure their movement during simulated earthquake using a sensor app

Extreme Weather: Our Changing Climate: Protecting Homes from Surge Activity
Students will build a model coastline and design a seawall to protect houses from waves as the sea level rises using the engineering design process

Extreme Weather: Our Changing Climate: Acid Rain
Students will learn about the impact that acid rain has on the environment and discover ways to combat it through science experiments
