SCH Pre-K girls are engaging with STEM and coding through "Pre-K Girls Code and Build," an innovative project led by teacher Stephanie Waters, thanks to an innovation grant. Inspired by Girls Who Code, Waters uses hands-on, unplugged activities and Scratch Junior, weaving in storytelling inspired by Ezra Jack Keats to make coding accessible and engaging for young learners.
"Adding the storytelling narrative element was important," explains Waters, noting the importance of connecting the "why" to STEM for young girls. “Seeing the kids build their resilience and stamina is such a critical foundational skill for our learners. To support one another, problem solve, and debug is really powerful.”
Waters’ project, featured on the latest Futurecast podcast and showcased in a video, exemplifies SCH's commitment to early childhood innovation in STEM. Hear the latest below.
