Early Childhood STEM Toolbox
• The OC STEM initiative has partnered with Lego Education to create an "Early Childhood STEM Toolbox" complete with resources that can help an ecosystem launch programs and initiatives in this space. Activities model instructional strategies that build literacy in STEM, foundational math, early coding literacy and social and emotional learning.
