STEM starts now! It was great to be at the Boston Children's Museum today to kick off STEM week. STEM education starts in early childhood. This year’s STEM theme of STEM Starts Now lifts up the importance of STEM for our youngest learners, sparking curiosity and exploration, promoting a love of learning, and providing hands-on activities that develop foundational problem-solving skills. #STEM #EarlyEducation
