We will discuss the creation of a STEM-friendly environment at home and school, the importance of hands-on activities, and ways to promote diversity and inclusivity within STEM fields. We will also highlight the significance of collaboration between parents and teachers and share exciting STEM projects that can fuel your child's curiosity and passion.
