Thanks to early childhood funding from Sandia National Labs, Explora led five hours of hands-on, inquiry-based science sessions at the NMAEYC conference.
In the "Rocks and Water" session, over 50 educators from across New Mexico learned how to capture their students` natural curiosity about rocks and turn it into a deeper experience of discovery. They compared the buoyancy, rolling, and weight of their rocks through systematic investigations.
The "AI for Early Childhood" session provided activities on data sorting, feature extraction, and machine learning for pre-K through third-grade students. One participant said, "I am excited to try using the different AI tools discussed in teaching, like Quick Draw and Teachable Machine."
