Online Workshop: Inquiry-Based STEM Projects Through Educator Experiences

What turns a child’s question into a powerful learning journey? It’s the educator’s ability to notice that spark of curiosity such as a discovery, an observation, or a simple conversation and nurture it into a sustained STEM project.

• Plan, co-develop, and sustain an inquiry-based STEM project with your children.
• Distinguish between a project and an open-ended exploration.
• Apply practical tools and strategies to extend children’s thinking and investigations.
• Navigate the evolving roles of educators and children in co-constructed environments.
• Engage all young children in project work, including those with limited verbal or physical skills.
• Identify and overcome common project challenges.
• Strengthen engagement with children, families, and your wider community.
• Draw inspiration from real-world examples from Little Scientists’ national network of educators.
