Developing High-Quality STEM Experiences at Every Age
Thursday, September 1, 2:00 P.M. – 3:00 P.M. EDT (11:00 A.M. – 12:00 P.M. PDT)
About this webinar:

How do you create meaningful STEM experiences for students from elementary to middle to high school? How do you know what STEM topics and skills are developmentally appropriate? Research tell us that understanding (and interest) among students develops over time. High-quality STEM learning experiences in the elementary grades serve as building blocks for more sophisticated work that happens later on. In this webinar, we’ll hear from two STEM education experts and from two afterschool practitioners, the California Tinkering Afterschool Network and a statewide professional development provider, on how they differentiate instruction and staff training across the K-12 grade span.
