Stem integrates four areas: Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths. STEM skills are increasingly a requirement in the 21st century and exposure to STEM in early childhood supports children to become familiar with this important area. Activities here are focused on introducing children to STEM through encouraging curiosity, risk taking, problem solving and effective questioning.

Outcome: Children are confident and involved learners
