Little Scientists Webinar

STEM Hour: Connect, learn, grow

STEM leaders in early childhood

STEM has become a buzzword in the sector – but what does everyday STEM in early childhood settings look like? How much STEM knowledge do I need to facilitate children’s scientific research? Can I teach STEM even if I didn’t enjoy maths and science in school?

Going back to the roots of inquiry-based STEM practices, this webinar will focus on educators’ individual STEM journeys and showcase how inquiry-based practices transformed their thinking about STEM learning. Our panel will share how everyone can become a STEM advocate, regardless of their level of knowledge and previous experiences.

Date: Thursday, 10 March 2022

Time: 11am - 12pm AEDT

Objectives:

Overcoming reservations about teaching STEM
Gaining hands-on ideas for best practice in inquiry-based STEM learning
Becoming STEM advocates in early childhood settings

The webinar is scheduled to run for one hour and includes a Q&A session.
