Save

This keynote opportunity and valuable hands-on workshops will highlight the interrelationship between STE(A)M and its value to our learners in the Early Years.

It provides teachers with aspirational thoughts on STE(A)M education no matter how young our learners are and will include practical ideas to take into your own Early Years classroom. STE(A)M learning spaces, resources and pedagogical approaches that develop STE(A)M learning will be presented, experienced and on display.

Teachers will experience a range of practical ideas to encourage thinking, interwoven with purposeful talk for effective collaboration between their young students.

This is a full day professional development session suitable for Early Childhood Educators (aimed from Kindergarten to Year Two), School Leaders, School Support Staff, Tutors, Home-School Educators and Special Needs Educators.
