Fostering young children's creativity with STEM activities in online learning environments

Abstract

This qualitative, multiple case study involved multimodal video analysis of regional Year 1 children as they engaged with STEM activities delivered online synchronously by Scitech. Semi-structured interviews were also conducted with the children, parents and educators. Data was analysed using the A-E of Children’s Creativity framework (Murcia et al., 2020). Findings illustrate how intentional online learning experiences can engage children creatively, informing recommendations for future STEM online educators.
