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.
