Primary conference: Unlock the power of STEM in primary education SL040 / AA01
Summary
Are you a primary school teacher or leader passionate about shaping young minds? Join us at the National STEM Learning Centre for our primary conference to explore the vital role of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) in primary education.
Discover how to build opportunities for primary pupils to engage in STEM activities and enrich the curriculum. By intertwining STEM with existing topics, we create practical, connected learning situations that foster curiosity and critical thinking. Whether it’s designing simple machines, exploring natural phenomena, or coding basic programs, STEM empowers students to understand the world around them.
In the 21st century, scientific and technological innovations are paramount. Our young learners need to develop STEM capabilities beyond what was considered acceptable in the past. At the conference, we’ll delve into how STEM equips students with problem-solving skills, resilience, and adaptability—essential traits for success in our ever-evolving world.
Join us as we explore the intersection of education, curiosity, and creativity through inspirational keynote speakers and engaging workshops. Let’s empower children to be the innovators of the future!
