I have learned that it is essential is allowing children to explore independently. It can be done intentionally or through teachable moments daily.

# data[].attributes.body
Learning how other centres' are implementing STEMIE that we may be able to adopt or better our own practice. E.g. implementing "Work in Progress" sign as there may be occasions when children would like to continue to work on their creation the following day(s).

# data[].attributes.body
STEMIE gives children opportunities to experiment and learn from failures.

# data[].attributes.body
STEMie does not need to be overly complicated and ways to incorporate the learning domains to STEMie.

# data[].attributes.body
STEMIE can be incorporated in the every day ordinary activities of the children.

It is very good to give the children time to think about a solution to their problem rather than quickly providing solution to them. Teachers must be mindful of this so as to help them think critically.

STEMIE can be challenging, but letting the children explore on their own solving their own problem by communicating with peers is fun to see also seeing them make their own output is fun.

importance of providing time for children to manipulate with resources and think critically

Ask questions to facilitate thinking

Having a STEMIE corner that children can go back to and work on their own project at their own pace

# data[].attributes.body
STEMIE corners in every class, giving children opportunities to explore with the materials provided (recycled materials).

‘Work In Progress’ sign, letting children get back to their inventions during learning centre.

The practice of STEMIE is not consistent through N2 and K1 so when they go to K2 it is more challenging to teach them STEMIE.

K1’s and K2’s are in their brainstorming process. Given specific time and assistance (when available) so that we can conduct in small groups

Dedicated time set for STEMIE activities in the timetable

Teachers conduct STEMIE lessons daily to encourage critical thinking and problem solving skills

boosting teachers' confidence in carrying out STEMIE

time to follow-up on prototypes

facilitating children's thought-process to think out of the box

Have specific time per class (N2-K2)

The availability of go box for children's manipulation.

Different lesson plan per level.

# data[].attributes.body
We conduct IBL in the afternoons before going outdoors.

The activities conducted during the IBL are extensions of the DOW lessons that children have in class.

# data[].attributes.body
After conducting a STEMIE lesson, slowly more and more children started to give ideas.

# data[].attributes.body
Children were proudly showing off their creation during the SCAMPER Stage Combine (they created a watering can from a paper cup & pipe cleaner). They later tested out their creation during outdoor.

# data[].attributes.body
Children find it frustrating to park the tricycle after outdoor play.

# data[].attributes.body
When children are checking the things in the classroom, looking how things works.

# data[].attributes.body
Children being mindful of their surroundings. During uncle trimming the trees

# data[].attributes.body
During block play, the children build a ‘bridge’ to hold a car but it kept falling. So they used more blocks and a larger base to support the car.

# data[].attributes.body
Children have more opportunities to explore, create and conduct experiments.

# data[].attributes.body
Mind-blowing

# data[].attributes.body
Exciting to discover children's idea (Charlotte)

# data[].attributes.body
When children become motivated to solve a problem through exploration. It doesnt even have to be intentional, daily experiences contribute to their development of problem-solving skills.

# data[].attributes.body
Differentiate per level

Different interest per class

Focus on lesson plans

# data[].attributes.body
There was a time when the children are cleaning the table, one of the children said that they wish they have an automatic table wiper. Then they started discussing on how the automatic table cleaner would look like.

Projects. Process-oriented approach.

# data[].attributes.body
When children were able to light the light bulbs during a trial and error experiment. That ‘wow’ factor.

# data[].attributes.body
Children being thoughtful and considering the smaller details that adults might not think of.

# data[].attributes.body
The topic sounded complex and technical but it was interesting as well.

# data[].attributes.body
It can be difficult to relate the problems to the children, and guiding them through it to a solution.

# data[].attributes.body
Challenging but interesting to teach. (Stacy)

At first I thought about robots and codes.

Will the children be able to follow through….?
