Little Scientists Australia
Biography
Little Scientists provides professional development workshops in STEM topics to early childhood educators and teachers, aiming to promote their confidence in recognising STEM learning opportunities and implementing playful, inquiry-based experiences in children’s daily lives.
The workshops include topics such as acoustics, water, computer science, and the human body, where educational concepts such as co-construction, language development, peer group learning and metacognition are explored.
Little Scientists Australia is a not-for-profit initiative of FROEBEL Australia Limited. The program is an adaptation of the progressive educational approach of the German not-for-profit Haus der kleinen Forscher Foundation.
