This workshop aims to introduce creative play as a lens for developing a scientific understanding of the world. Participating teachers will be introduced to play as a pedagogical approach and will be guided on ways to integrate hands-on, cross-disciplinary investigations about how things work into their existing lesson plans to provide a more authentic exploration of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) concepts. ?This approach can engage children early in STEM activities to build literacy of scientific concepts and support a life-long love of exploration and inquiry.
