The “E” in STEM – Demystifying Engineering March 5, 2025
Come tinker with materials, experience engineering first hand, and the importance of reflecting, expressing and representing both our own work and the work of children. Engineering happens every day in early learning environments. In this session, we will demystify engineering by clarifying what engineering is and identifying ways engineering is naturally incorporated in the industry and play of children. We will examine how providing intriguing loose parts and facilitating problem-solving using the design process are at the heart of engineering. We will introduce a process to support problem-solving skills, methods of communication, and introduce a framework for collaboration. Participants will learn how to foster engineering mindset in children by focusing on process, in addition to outcomes when facilitating their play and investigations.
