Playing, learning, and communicating with blocks and more.
Children communicate emotions and ideas through block building and other three-dimensional work. Join us live-online as we share research, classroom stories, hands-on explorations, and rich conversations to strengthen your capacity to see and support the many ways children play and learn with natural and human-made materials for building indoors and out.
You’ll leave this workshop with the tools to:
- Discuss engineering skills in ages 0-5 and how to support children’s explorations, competencies, and communication
- Learn a language to assess, support, and celebrate children’s emerging engineering skills.
- Understand the concept of visual-spatial thinking and how to support this learning in outdoor classrooms
- Set the stage for learning indoors and out with an intentional focus on space and materials
A link to download additional resources and a Nature Explore Workshop certificate of participation will be provided upon completion of a short reflection.
