STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) is all around us, and young children are natural scientists—curious, experimental, and eager to explore. This course will help practitioners recognise and nurture early STEM learning through play, everyday experiences, and engaging hands-on activities.
Course Objectives
By the end of this course, delegates will:
Explore how STEM concepts naturally emerge in children’s play and daily experiences, aligning with the EYFS framework.
Learn how to create environments that encourage exploration, questioning, and problem-solving for young learners.
Enhance children’s vocabulary and understanding of scientific processes—such as observation, prediction, and experimentation—through intentional interactions.
Design and facilitate inclusive, hands-on, play-based STEM activities that support curiosity, creativity, and critical thinking in all children.
Course Delivery
This practical session blends theory with real-life examples to show how STEM can be naturally embedded into Early Years practice. Delegates will engage in discussions and interactive activities, leaving with the confidence and ideas needed to bring STEM learning to life in their settings.
Who Should Attend?
This course is ideal for:
Early Years Practitioners working with children aged 0–5
Room Leaders and Managers looking to strengthen STEM provision within their settings
Anyone wanting to ignite curiosity and provide meaningful science and exploration opportunities for young learners
