Columbus Metropolitan Library

The Columbus Metropolitan Library, in partnership with the Columbus Museum of Art, Franklin County Historical Society (Center of Science and Industry), WOSU Public Media, and Wexner Center for the Arts, will plan and develop a system of teen learning labs across the city of Columbus, Ohio. The labs will use 21st century digital media tools to enhance learning and create a collaborative community of teens. The partners will be guided in their efforts by a teen design group to create a connected system of opportunities for teens across the city, using existing or planned learning lab spaces at each of the partner organizations. The individual assets of each organization will be used to provide Columbus teens with a more coordinated system of lab space and programming that provides access to a wide variety of technological experiences and facilitate collaboration across programs and neighborhoods.
