By challenging children to innovate, use critical thinking, and find solutions to problems, maker education can help children gain foundational skills needed for their continued STEM learning.
One of the earliest ways that children learn about the world around them is through their five senses: sight, smell, sound, touch and taste. Sensory play can encourage meaningful learning and early interest in STEM.
"Talk Story with Tui" is a space dedicated to highlighting Pacific Islander professionals in STEM. Read along as they share about their experiences and what inspired them to choose a career in STEM.
