STEM Learning with Tiny Sparks
STEM Learning with Tiny Sparks!
'STEM Learning with Tiny Sparks', POD-CACHE Podcast S5 E01, 2023.
Learning Co-ordinator, Amy Baird joins POD-CACHE to discuss the Discovery Museum's Tiny Sparks EYFS programme.
In the debut episode, Amy from the Discovery Museum in Newcastle, tells us about her early years sessions called 'Tiny Sparks', organised for families with 3-5 year old children, which are themed around STEM subjects. We explore how connecting museum objects from diverse collections with stories and interactive play can aid children in learning and developing both their fine and gross motor skills. Amy also walks us through her plans for future sessions and her goal towards making them more accessible, working together with a number of community partners.
