Approximately 100 early childhood teachers were introduced to STEM philosophy and practices through hands-on-minds-on explorations. Teachers were introduced to: journaling in the early childhood classroom, observing patterns and shapes in nature and in man-made objects, STEM Walks, building 3-D structures with readily available materials, using blocks to teach STEM concepts, and buoyancy concepts. It was a great six-hour session. The teachers were totally immersed in the STEM experience. The SMART START organization of San Jose was a delight to work with. I look forward to hearing what exciting STEM experiences these teachers have implemented within their classrooms.
