Creative Investigations in Early Engineering and Technology

AWARD WINNER!

Early childhood teachers continue to seek activities that promote STEM-based learning. But most STEM books focus on science and math, excluding technology and engineering. Creative Investigations in Early Engineering and Technology helps teachers create a more well-rounded STEM learning program.

• Encourage children to think, make, tinker and innovate
• Introduce engineering skills such as coding in a developmentally appropriate way
• Leverage children’s use of digital technologies to help them learn new skills
• Promote active engagement and participation in classroom learning
