TIME: 4pm afternoon tea - 4:30 to 6pm workshop.

WORKSHOP AIMS:

1.To introduce engineering (the E in STEM) and to help integrate it into the early years’ setting.2.To highlight links between engineering the arts; visual arts, also story-telling, books, and music (the E&A in STEAM).3.To explore engineering design processes to facilitate educators to build on this and be able to work on designing, drawing, implementing, and documenting engineering projects with children.4. Empowering educators to plan and facilitate an engineering project with groups of children preparing, dreaming, drawing, designing, and implementing - topic for the modelling workshop is Robots.

Resource: Young engineers picture book and Young Engineers – Projects

Pre-preparation: educators to bring cardboard, boxes, foil, robot-type accessories e.g pipes, tubes, etc. to bring to share in workshop. Pencils, pens will also be handy.

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.
