CPE/STEAM Practice Based Workshop - The Shape of Learning: Exploring Geometry Through STEAM Play
The Shape of Learning: Exploring Geometry Through STEAM Play
A Practice-Based STEAM Workshop for Early Childhood Educators
From towers of triangles to puzzles of patterns, geometry gives children powerful ways to see and shape their world. In this practice-based workshop, educators will explore playful strategies to help young learners build geometry skills while engaging in STEAM-rich experiences. Together, we’ll investigate how shapes can be named, compared, combined, and transformed through hands-on exploration and design.
This interactive session follows our proven structure:
45-Minute Engaging Presentation — Discover how playful geometry experiences build children’s early math and spatial reasoning.
15-Minute Video Reflection — Watch real-world examples of children exploring shapes and reflect on strategies you can use.
60-Minute Tinker & Take — Create hands-on geometry activities and materials you can bring back to your program the very next day.
You’ll leave with:
A deeper understanding of how shapes support children’s math, problem-solving, and STEAM learning.
Ready-to-use geometry activities that inspire curiosity and creativity.
Materials and strategies to implement immediately in your classroom or program.
