The Geometry of Buildings
A module for preservice teachers makes STEAM more accessible
Science and Children—February 2020 (Volume 57, Issue 6)
By Lauren Angelone
“Before completing this module, I had assumed that STEAM education was much more high-tech than it actually is. With this assumption in mind, I thought it would be difficult to bring STEAM into my Early Childhood Classroom. However, I now see how any STEAM lesson can be adapted to integrate technology for any age of learners. I now value STEAM more than I initially did.” – Preservice Teacher
