Bringing STEM to Life: Understanding and recognising science, technology, engineering and maths in play (Paperback or Softback)

This is a book dedicated to STEM, but you will not find a 'how to' for setting up science, technology, engineering or math activities. What you will find is a deeper understanding of the complexities of children's play. The authors use real examples to demonstrate how, in an engaging environment with meaningful interactions, quality resources and a commitment to play, children will naturally explore STEM concepts.

Nicole Halton is a passionate early childhood professional with over 20 years of hands-on experience in just about every role you can imagine: from educator and director to author, consultant, approved provider and resource developer. Nicole has made it her mission to help educators rediscover the joy and wonder of childhood through nature play, slow pedagogy, and authentic connection with children.

Since co-founding Inspired EC in 2008, Nicole has inspired countless educators across Australia and beyond with her workshops, books and resources, always encouraging them to embrace the messiness, adventure, and magic that comes with working with young children. When she's not delivering a training session or putting together a new blog post for the Inspired EC blog, you will typically find Nicole with her head in a book or exploring the outdoors with her family.
