A Unique Flipped Model of Family STEM Literacy
Join STEMinar
Event Details
Most STEM-based family literacy programs rely on the fact that all parties are literate, which is not the case. Often adults struggle to keep up with what their children are learning. Some children are teaching their parents reading, language and lots of STEM. This STEMinar will include reading a storybook and exploring a easy hands-on activity using everyday objects that will enhance the concept of the story to achieve a better understanding of learning literacy and making together!
