Young children are filled with questions about the world they live in: “Why do cats have fur?” “Why don’t bees make square honeycomb?” “Why is snow white but the ocean blue?” – Have you ever wondered how to answer their big questions?
STEM education is so much more than factual answers to complex questions and Little Scientists will show you how easy and uncomplicated it can be. In a series of live webinars, Little Scientists will introduce the concepts, methods and skills to early childhood teachers and educators. We will show you some simple techniques to cultivate children’s skills and excitement for STEM exploration, and our hands-on session will enrich your repertoire of STEM activities.
The webinars are scheduled to run for one hour each and include a Q&A session and a networking opportunity. You will be engaged in hands-on STEM activities during the second session, for which you will receive a materials list in advance.
Parents, librarians, teachers, educators and anyone who wishes to spark children’s excitement in STEM exploration.
