Everyday Fun With Technology and Engineering: Let’s Talk About STEM Video

Watch to see how an understanding of engineering and technology develops from birth to 5 years old.

Let’s Talk About STEM: Everyday Fun with Engineering from ZEROTOTHREE on Vimeo.

Engineering and technology skill sets emerge as children explore:

• Solving the problems they encounter in their world (and making their own problems to solve!);
• Combining objects in new ways—stacking, lining up, nesting inside, and more;
• Testing how things work, like pressing buttons on the television remote;
• Changing part of a system, like the height of a ramp, and making predictions about what will happen; and
• Using information about what works and doesn’t work to improve their creations.
