Abstract for the conference program

Most STEM programs have focused on the needs of the secondary learners, however the primary students are just as engaged and eager to learn about STEM and STEM careers. In this session we will take a look at different activities that can be used to engage the minds of younger learners. We will also explore ways that students can become engaged with robots, coding, and other STEM related projects. In addition to learning about ways STEM can be implemented in schools, this session will highlight a special group of students that decided to take things into their own hands in order to begin learning about STEM.
