In this workshop, educators and parents will learn easy ways to incorporate STEAM into the classroom and home!
STEAM is an acronym for Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math education.Learn how to focus on these areas together not only because the skills and knowledge in each discipline are essential for student success, but also because these fields are deeply intertwined in the real world and in how students learn most effectively.
Children begin life “STEM-ready.”
Think about it: children are curious and constantly ask questions. They keenly observe the world around them and are good at connecting ideas. They sketch and draw a lot. They astutely observe others’ behaviors. Children like to build models, break them down, and then begin again. They like to experiment and try new things. In a nutshell, children are great natural learners — just the kind of learners we need for successful STEM work (or any work, for that matter). http://www.middleweb.com/3569/10-stem-tips-for-parents
