Cardboard Carnival is a partnership between the Evanston Public Library and EvanSTEM. 

Funding provided by the Illinois State Library - Project Next Generation Grant.

Evanston Public Library, District 65, and our partners are committed to creating safe and welcoming spaces, programs, and services for all Evanston youth.  Just like Evanston youth, the staff who work on the Citywide STEM challenges come from a variety of races, cultures, experiences, sexual orientation, and gender identities.  By being intentional with our staffing and program structure we hope that youth see themselves reflected and feel supported when they take part.
