All children deserve the best start in life and new scientific discoveries deepen our understanding of how to create the best environments for children. The team at I-LABS creates new and effective ways to bridge the gap between the science and the practice of learning by disseminating the latest science of child development. Our team shares the latest scientific discoveries in relevant and actionable ways with those who can best put it into practice: early learning professionals, parents, and policymakers. Partners use cutting-edge research to create evidence-based policies, practices, and programs that grow the next generation of lifelong learners.

This 25-minute Online module covers the following points:

• It is important to build children's STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) skills starting at an early age so they become fluent.
• Parents/teachers can provide children with a variety of STEM materials and activities, and ask questions about what children observe and expect.
• Doing STEM activities with other people can help children enjoy STEM.
