Early Childhood STEM Conference - Ecstem

Spring educator workshops are happening at The Children's Center at Caltech beginning this month!

Join us for a hands-on workshop exploring how to help young children observe deeply, document their findings, and turn curiosity into discovery.

When preschoolers slow down and really observe, they begin to think like scientists and create like artists.
