[kids-lib] Workshop: "STEM-IT: Identifying STEM connections with early literacy in children's picture books" (no cost!)

[Katie Anderson]

Workshop: "STEM-IT: Identifying STEM connections with early literacy in children's picture books"



Join early learning researcher, and Emporia SLIM faculty member, Janet Capps for an interactive session on how to "STEM-IT" with a tool being designed to assist practitioners in identifying the presence of the four STEM domains: (1) Science, (2) Technology, (3) Engineering, and (4) Math. The intent is to capture a picture book's illustrations/pictures and text presentation of select STEM elements to expand a read-aloud or storytime session with young children. Basic STEM-IT training with picture books is followed by an opportunity to provide early feedback to the developers on the tool design.



Please join us and share your expertise.
