Come discover all that makes up STEAM and how you can incorporate it in your Early Childhood classroom. Through discussion, hands-on activities, and shared resources, you will leave this workshop with activities for each of the STEAM components as well as ways to raise the level of deep thinking as children engage in these activities. Additionally, we will brainstorm assessment in STEAM in order to use the data to drive lesson planning, expand concepts, and further learning.
