This article discusses why engineering is important in the early years, what are core elements of engineering, and how you can foster engineering in your setting.
Young children love to explore the world around them—and STEM activities are a great way to help them do it. With so many STEM ideas to choose from, how do you find what is best for your child?
When you go online to search for a science activity, how can you know which activities will really help children build knowledge about STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) and support their scientific thinking?
In this article, we explain why engineering practices are an important part of early STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) learning and share examples of exploring engineering practices.
This interactive online module provides preschool teachers with strategies to promote children's Higher Order Thinking skills and increase understanding of STEM concepts in the classroom.
