Spring 2025 EC STEAM Network Newsletter. Includes info on research projects examples of STEAM in ECEC practice. Please feel free to share and encourage them to join our network which they can do by emailing us at [email protected]#STEAM#STEM#education#earlychildhood
Just in time for the new focus on #STEAM & #STEAM - one of our network co-chairs has published a book to help educators bring STEAM in to their early childhood practice.
Updated Aistear published today states "Babies, toddlers and young children enjoy exploring early #STEM concepts & ideas and testing these
out". My new book can show you how to incorporate these activities in #earlychildhoodeducation for children age 0-6.https://t.co/05ZlVMFJWQ
Please share some examples or stories from your #earlyyears practice or #research on #STEAM with us for inclusion in our next newsletter. Eg:
📚A book or article recommendation
📢Information of an upcoming conference
📸Photos/learning stories of STEAM in action
