STEM Kits for Early Childhood Classrooms
In partnership with Dominion Energy, Fairfax Futures recently delivered STEM education classroom kits to educators who completed a nine-week course on incorporating STEM concepts and experiences into their early childhood programs. The kits contain developmentally appropriate books, building materials and magnification stations that can be used to encourage young children’s natural curiosity, discovery and exploration.
Dominion Energy is also supporting development of an environmental science video to be produced by The Teaching Channel. The video will share ways that families and early childhood educators can introduce young children to the natural environment and begin to learn about the world in which they live.
Fairfax Futures Executive Director Vera Steiner Blore and Deborah Johnson, Regional Director, Northern Virginia State and Local Affairs at Dominion Energy, delivered a STEM education kit to staff and children at Logos Academy in Herndon, Va. The kits were made possible through a grant from Dominion Energy.
