At what age do children begin identifying with STEM? The answer is younger than we thought
WASHINGTON, Dec. 9 (TNSres) -- The National Science Foundation issued the following news release:
Much of early childhood development is well-documented and understood. For example, most parents know that children have favorite foods, colors and toys by the ages of two or three. And children begin developing their ideas about themselves and the world around them by age seven. But what is less defined is at what age children begin developing their own ideas about STEM and where they fit in it. K
