Supporting Early Childhood STEAM Experiences through Play

Get ready to play! Join NGCP for this fun and interactive webinar to learn how to leverage an interdisciplinary STEAM approach to foster young children's curiosity through authentic play-based learning.  

While there are many benefits to early introductions to STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics), many STEAM education tools and technologies are cost-prohibitive and are not playful or developmentally appropriate for young learners. Join us for this webinar to learn how early childhood educators and caregivers can utilize playful, low-cost, and screen-free approaches to introducing high-tech STEAM concepts and skills. Speakers include Dr. Amanda Sullivan and Dr. Amanda Strawhacker, early childhood researchers and authors of the new book Playful STEAM Learning in the Early Years: An Educator’s Guide to Screen-Free Explorations.  During this webinar, the speakers will share evidence-based, hands-on approaches as well as a practical framework to effectively integrate STEAM learning in the early grades (pre-K to 3rd grade). Participants will leave this event with ideas for playing alongside their young learners to make powerful STEAM discoveries and foster a lifelong love of learning – you won’t want to miss the fun!
