Experience Workshop’s STEAM director, Dr. Kristof Fenyvesi, representing Hong Kong Metropolitan University as a visiting researcher, gave a STEAM training session to Taiwanese early childhood educators.
40 participants took part in the training, including academic staff from the Department of Early Childhood Education&Care, Tajen University and members from its 3 affiliated non-profit kindergartens. Leader of the group was Pai-Shiang Huang, associate professor, Head of the Department of Early Childhood Education&Care.
The event helped promote innovative educational practices that integrate STEAM disciplines from an early age.
Dr. Fenyvesi’s work, characterized by a creative fusion of mathematical concepts with artistic expression, exemplifies the potential of STEAM to make learning both accessible and engaging for young learners. The methodologies he is implementing emphasize hands-on, exploratory learning, where art serves as a conduit for understanding complex scientific and mathematical ideas.
