Session Description

Recently, the National Academies (2022) released a report focused on enhancing the science and engineering learning experiences of young children from preschool through the elementary grades. While the report responds in a number of ways to the growing interest in early childhood science and
engineering education, the predominant focus on learning within formal classroom environments does not allow for a deep examination of out-of-school and informal learning contexts, which can be especially formative and powerful for young learners. Exploring settings such as libraries, community programs, and ... (continued)
