Program Description

An Encounter with Water: crossing boundaries and exploring unexpected gazes

This Webinar focuses on how educators and children might explore new ways of encountering materials (water); valuing multiple perspectives and discovering unexpected gazes. When understood as a material for learning, water offers many possibilities to examine and explore the rich normality of such an ‘ordinary’ subject.Through this webinar Lou Kirkwood will explore a project that was undertaken at New Horizons Pre-School, where children considered this material as so much more than ‘just water’; exploring the interwoven concepts of beauty, aesthetics, relationships, empathy, the natural world, imagination and connectedness.

STEM Hour: Supporting Transitions through Place-Based STEM Learning

When children move between home, early learning, and school, they often face new people and expectations. Children’s confidence in these transitions will depend on whether they feel a strong sense of connection between and belonging in each space — and STEM is a powerful tool to support this.

STEM Hour: Integrating Arts into STEM for Meaningful Exploration

In early childhood, STEM learning builds on children’s prior knowledge, encourages collaboration, and nurtures creative thinking — making it a natural partner to the Arts.

STEM Chemical Reactions Workshop

This workshop explores the fascinating relationship between chemical reactions and language development in early childhood. Come along to learn how to recognise chemistry in children’s everyday lives, find opportunities for age-appropriate chemical exploration, and explore the pedagogy behind language development through STEM inquiry.

STEM Water Workshop

Have you ever met a child who was not fascinated by water? From ice blocks to raindrops, children love to explore water. Come along to Little Scientist’s foundational workshop to explore STEM through the vehicle of water and the critical pedagogical topics of co-construction, metacognition, and inquiry-based learning in early education.
