Not only does the ELSA Program provide children with STEM activities through the 4 app bundles, it also provides engaging STEM resources full of fun educational games and STEM books. View our ELSA Program resources here: elsaprogram.com.au/resource-pack
The ELSA Program provides 4 digital app bundles that spark creativity and curiosity in STEM. Children can direct their own play and create their own content within the apps that reflects their life and community. Learn more about the apps: elsaprogram.com.au/apps/
Two of our education research academics hosted the webinar ‘STEM in preschool – how to help all children be future-ready’ Where they discuss how to prepare children for the future. View it here: elsaprogram.com.au/webinar-record…
The ELSA Program has been fortunate to work closely with educators in centres who have used our program through the years. Get up-close-and-personal with special insights into the program with our ELSA in Action series: elsaprogram.com.au/in-action/
We have embedded the Experience, Represent, Apply (ERA) framework into every aspect of the ELSA Program, allowing children to experience, represent and apply STEM Practices and concepts in various ways. Learn more here: elsaprogram.com.au/era-framework/
ELSA Program off hands-on provide a wide range of learning opportunities in the classroom and outside. Our Australian Birds board game and field guide is perfect for these spring months, encouraging children to explore nature in their surroundings. elsaprogram.com.au/product/austra…
The Early Learning STEM Australia (ELSA) Program maps to the Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF), Australian Curriculum for Foundation and your state curriculum. Our STEM experts have outlined how in our curriculum tool: splatmaths.com.au/curriculum-tool
What is STEM? Well, our education research experts worked together to provide ELSA Program educators with a STEM Practices Framework. Follow the link to find out more: elsaprogram.com.au/stem-practices
Since the launch of the ELSA Preschool pilot in 2018, hundreds of educators have been involved with the program. Some started with us on day one and are still teaching the ELSA Program in their rooms today! Here’s what some educators had to say about the program:
It is important to ensure that families of children participating in the ELSA Program are in the know. Our ELSA Program website explains to parents what their children will get up to and why. There are also STEM activity ideas for families to do at home! bit.ly/4m8VVGE
On our ELSA Program website, we provide step-by-step guides to using ELSA in your classroom to set you up for success from the beginning. This includes written information and Professional Learning videos, some presented by Luke Carroll from Playschool! bit.ly/ELSAhow
Using the ELSA Program will help to bring STEM practices into your classroom and will make you realise that you have been doing it all along in your everyday practices!
Discover everything our early learning STEM preschool program has to offer children & educators: 16 digital games, 100+ hands-on activities, online professional learning, lesson ideas, STEM picture books and games. ELSA makes STEM fun. elsaprogram.com.au/discover/
