The #STEM Stereotypes That Hold Students Back Aren't What You Think. STEM starts early! We're missing the boat if we wait until middle or high school! https://t.co/s88Cb8n0Vj #earlySTEM #Steam

Join me in Anaheim for “Once Upon a STEAM Story: Making & Tinkering with Young Children" on Thursday, November 7th at 8:00 am! Come ready to tinker, build, & play! We'll connect new & classic storybooks w/ engaging design challenges that spark creativity & innovation! #naeycAC

Excited to have a few articles on early #STEM education featured in the Fall issue of @NAEYC's Teaching Young Children. Hope these ideas inspire ways to explore STEM with young learners!

Please share this archived webinar with those supporting the emotional needs of young children in the aftermath of #HurricaneHelene : Helping Children Birth through 5 Rebound from Traumatic Experiences.

My cardboard gymnast is nailing the high bar routine and is ready for #Paris2024 ! Are you #tinkering with kids around the #Olympics? Would love to see your ideas for inspiration! #STEM #EarlyEd @KnockKnockCM

Kids love to earn stickers! How about making it really special with some sound effects using a @makeymakey ? @KnockKnockCM

Taking apart old keyboards with little ones=engaged learners! Using REAL tools builds confidence & trust while making connections to the real world. Plus, they talk about those letters & numbers on the keys! The big A-ha for everyone is discovering what's inside! @KnockKnockCM

#Tinkering with #LightPainting with a Hot Wheel! Finger light attached to a hot wheel. Captured pic using Slow Shutter Cam app. #LightPlay

My It's Raining, It's Pouring costume for @KnockKnockCM's Storybook Soiree won Best Individual Costume! Used a @MaKeyMakey and @scratch to create an umbrella that had a different nursery rhyme on every raindrop! #makingandtinkering #Tinkering

Great day exploring #rampsandrollers with teachers at the @AlabamaEarlyEd Conference in Mobile! What better way to explore "gentle slopes" and "steep slopes" than with a relay race!

Now that the eclipse has passed, how might we explore the lens of glasses in different ways? #STEM

Louisiana Educator friends! If you are heading to Lafayette Tuesday for the LaSTEM Summit, @KnockKnockCM will be leading 2 sessions. Come join us! @GeauxLaSTEM @CapitalAreaSTEM

#Tinkering with the #Glowforge Aura laser cutter. Loving the camera feature. Here I scanned a child's artwork and etched it onto a wood coaster.

Jack and Jill went up Knock Knock Hill, to attend Storybook Soirée. “It’s sure to be grand” said the two hand-in-hand. “Come join us – We’ll show you the way!” ✨ Save the date for the 5th Edition of Storybook Soirée on Thursday, November 9, 2023 from 7:00 – 10:00 pm

I mixed the UV light photochromic pigment activity with another project. The kids enjoyed the various stamp designs printed on transparency sheets. Thanks for sharing your wonderful ideas on this awesome project, @CeMoCreates !! https://t.co/RLyX0BzxGn
