This workshop will provide creative ways to use the arts in setting the foundations for science, technology, engineering and math in early childhood settings.
Young children learn about the world and their place in it through exactly the same processes used by mathematicians, scientists and engineers! Exploring, experimenting, reflecting, making, acting and talking about the way things are made and how they work - these are the foundations for students’ experiences in science, technology, engineering and math, the STEM subjects currently being emphasized in our schools and universities. Adding the “Arts” to STEM, we’ll go full STEAM ahead, exploring everything from how numbers work, how colors are made, how the wonders of the natural world happen and much more! As always, we will use all art forms – music, dance, theater and the visual arts – and a rich array of the best children's books, including, this year, nonfiction for the very young. Activities shared will not only encourage young scientists and mathematicians but will show how arts integration strategies also build language and expression in learners of all ages and abilities.
Presented by: The Arts Alliance of Northern New Hampshire and VSA New Hampshire as part of their ongoing Arts in Inclusive Learning collaboration, provided through a contract with the John F.
