This project will bring STEM education to rural communities through local public libraries. Museum quality exhibits labelled as "Discover Earth", "Discover Technology", and "Discover Space" will spend 3 months at a series of locations around the Nation. Twenty four medium sized libraries will be chosen for the large exhibits and forty small libraries will be chosen for scaled down versions. The project's intent is to provide exhibits in every state and to reach as many under-represented individuals as possible. The significance of this project is that rural areas of this country are underserved regarding STEM education and since this segment of society is represented by 50-60 million residents, it is important to reach out to them.There is a significant segment of the Nation's population (50-60 million) that is underserved by out-of-school learning venues such as museums and science centers. An earlier phase 1 project demonstrated at 18 sites that rural libraries and librarians could provide STEM education to community members ranging in age from adults to children using these hands-on exhibits. Each exhibit (earth, space or technology) includes information about the topic and technologically enabled models to provide interesting and fun discovery mechanisms. They use common layman friendly language that highlights the most recent discoveries in each area. Each exhibit will be placed in the selected library for 3 months during which the library will organize events to feature and advertise the STEM learning opportunities. Another feature of this project will be to determine the models of learning in library settings and as a function of the demographics. The partners in this project that bring the necessary expertise are the American Library Association, the Afterschool Alliance, the Association of Rural and Small Libraries, the University of Colorado Museum, Datum Advisors, LLC, Evaluation and Research Associates, the Lunar and Planetary Institute, the American Geophysical Union, and the Space Science Institute.

该项目将通过当地公共图书馆将STEM教育带到农村社区。博物馆的质量展示了标有“ Discover Earth”，“ Discover Technology”和“ Discover Space”的质量，将在全国各地的一系列地点度过3个月。将选择二十四个中型库作为大型展览，并选择40个小库以缩放版本。 该项目的目的是在每个州提供展览，并尽可能多地获得代表性的人。该项目的意义在于，该国的农村地区在STEM教育方面不满意，并且由于社会的这一部分由500-6亿居民代表，因此与他们联系很重要。在该国人口（500-6000万）中，这是由诸如博物馆和科学中心之类的校外学习场所所服务的一部分。较早的第1阶段项目在18个地点展示，农村图书馆和图书馆员可以使用这些动手展览的成人到儿童的年龄范围的社区成员提供STEM教育。每个展览（地球，空间或技术）都包含有关主题和技术启用模型的信息，以提供有趣而有趣的发现机制。他们使用普通的外行友好语言，突出了每个领域的最新发现。每个展览将在选定的图书馆中放置3个月，在此期间，图书馆将组织活动以展示和宣传STEM学习机会。该项目的另一个功能是确定图书馆设置中的学习模型和人口统计学的函数。该项目带来必要专业知识的合作伙伴是美国图书馆协会，毕业后联盟，农村和小型图书馆协会，科罗拉多大学博物馆，Datum Advisors，LLC，评估与研究协会，月球和行星研究所，美国地球物理联盟以及太空科学研究所。
