- Format: In-person keynotes and hands-on workshops
- Theme: Curious Brains: Connecting Early Years Neuroscience with Everyday STEAM Learning

Conference Schedule
Schedule coming soon.
Morning Keynote: The Science of Early Years Learning
What is happening in a young child's brain when they play, explore, and ask questions? The morning keynote looks at the neuroscience behind Early Years learning and what it means for the way we set up our classrooms and support children every day.
More details coming soon.
Hands-On Sessions
Two hands-on sessions give participants the chance to try science activities as learners, then think about how to adapt them for their own children and classrooms.
