Blueprints & Building Blocks of STEAM™
Evidence-Based Construction Learning Model for Early Childhood
Blueprints & Building Blocks of STEAM™ is an evidence-based pre-k to 5th grade learning model that uses construction and engineering play as the foundation for integrated Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics learning. Grounded in developmental science, the model supports how young children learn best, through hands-on exploration, guided inquiry, and meaningful interaction with materials, peers, and educators.
Through construction experiences, children develop early math and science reasoning, spatial awareness, language and vocabulary, problem-solving skills, and social-emotional competence while engaging in real-world, culturally responsive learning.
Become the reason a child discovers what they are capable of.
