About this workshop
During this seven-hour workshop, you will engage in STEM inquiry by exploring acoustics in hands-on ways. You will uncover how co-constructed environments support peer group learning and reflect on the role of the educator in enhancing children’s verbal and non-verbal communication with peers.
As an interactive session, you will experience the effects of group dynamics on the learner and understand how to create a collaborative environment in your setting. By the end of this workshop, you will have extended your repertoire of age-appropriate acoustics experiences and feel comfortable facilitating peer group learning.
