Did you know that SARSEF has a full suite of Early Childhood specific outreach offerings? We have taken some of SARSEF’s most popular elementary school programs and redesigned them specifically to develop problem solving and critical thinking skills in Arizona’s youngest scientists and engineers. Bring the excitement of scientific exploration to your Preschool or Early Learning Center with SARSEF’s Early Childhood Programs.
Family Science Night
Planning a STEM night for preschoolers and their families? Invite SARSEF to be a part of it. We have a variety of science and engineering invitations designed specifically for early childhood families to engage in together. Collaborate with us to bring even more STEM to your family engagement night.
Pre-K What Do We Wonder?
Adapted from SARSEF’s K-8 Wonder program, preschoolers will engage in the engineering design process through guided small group centers. An early childhood educator will facilitate a series of four small group invitations where students will practice noticing and wondering, and design a solution to a real world problem.
Teacher Professional Development
Using the inquiry-based learning model, SARSEF outreach professionals guide teachers on how to engage their students in quality science and engineering research projects. Learn how to identify developmentally appropriate challenges and interests that peak student curiosity. Preschool students and classrooms are eligible to compete in the annual SARSEF Fair, let us help you get started.
