STEMIEFest 2026

STEMIEFest is a free and virtual gathering of families, early childhood, early intervention, and early childhood special education professionals and faculty, and more to engage in innovative STEM learning experiences and activities.

Our theme this year is: Noticing the Thinking: Building Early STEM Programs that Inspire Lifelong Curiosity, and we are focused on encouraging adults in children’s lives to observe, interpret, and nurture children’s emerging science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) ideas.

Participants can earn .8 CEUs for attending.

Love the reinforcement of providing STEM opportunities within the context of natural routines and activities with child interest!!!!

Wonderful examples of different ways to do this with the materials children are already engaged with – I will use this in my coaching!!
