These skills are the foundation of STEM education and educators are very much responsible for teaching STEM skills and concepts.

This course provides early childhood educators with the tools and insights necessary to enhance STEM related learning outcomes through the integration of a wide variety of art activities. The need for this course was determined through user requests and consultation with childcare and early education experts. STEM education has become a major focus K-12 schools and out-of-school care programs, and art provides an excellent platform for promoting a wide range of STEM related skills and content.

“ECE professionals will have a clear understanding of how art can be a powerful teaching tool, and how STEM topics and art are far more closely related than many people realize at first,” says Leslie Coleman, Education Director of CCEI. “All art activities have the potential to promote STEM learning, not only through the materials and activities themselves but also through the language the teacher uses and the degree to which the teacher encourages experimentation and observation.”
