Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) has been a hot topic recently. It’s been in the news and on agendas related to education, especially in primary and secondary schools. Did you know that STEM can also be implemented in early childhood? Take a look at the video below where early childhood teachers are introduced to hands-on-minds-on inquiry-based STEM explorations during a teacher training workshop conducted by nationally recognized science education consultant, Dr. Diana Wehrell-Grabowski. Teachers were actively engaged in exploring STEM concepts through hands-on explorations. Additionally, teachers were introduced to early childhood and primary level children’s literature with STEM related concepts.
