Bridging the gap

Little Scientists has helped bridge the gap to a better understanding of STEM. The ongoing support and connection since day one has always been there, further motivating ways to improve how we incorporate STEM into our services. This is creating a better learning journey for not only our future generations but us as educators, as we look at ways to encourage and challenge ways of thinking and gaining more knowledge.

Training was brilliant

I'm a Family Day Care educator with over ten years in the industry and always looking for new ways to inspire and further development my current best practice.

Earlier last month I took part in a Little Scientists Training session about Water and STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) This day of training was brilliant.

I connected with other educators, discussed ideas and examples of water STEM experiences. We got hands-on experience drawing on our children's ages, challenges and understanding of STEM and built on effective ways to provide experiences, and documenting using the enquiry cycle and ELYF.

The handouts and training provided were very effective. I really would highly recommend others. Thank you.
