Euclid's Early Learning Students Exploring STEM Education
Because play is a
n important part of growth and development, “fabricating” projects that involve playing, tinkering, designing and creating begin at a young age. The FabLab at the Early Learning Village was specifically designed to revolutionize play-based learning, introducing STEM principles to students in a fun and engaging way.
The FabLab is more than just a typical classroom–it’s a dynamic space that features state-of-the-art 3D printers, vinyl cutters, lasers, robots and other tinkering toys and devices.
In the FabLab, students as young as four years old are introduced to the wonders of science, technology, engineering and math through engaging, age-appropriate activities and projects. From designing and building simple structures to experimenting with coding and robotics, the students are introduced to STEM concepts early in their education.
Lately, ELV Students have been using DASH Robots and Code-A-Pillars to learn about the basics of coding and Tinkering Stations (hammers, screwdrivers & drills) to get hands-on experience working with tools and basic concepts of building.
