Attendees will learn how to guide preschoolers through a simplified design process using modeling clay and digital tools. They will take away a replicable activity plan, recommendations for age-appropriate 3D apps, and strategies to foster creativity and spatial reasoning in early learners.
After this session, participants will be able to implement physical-digital design activities to foster creativity and spatial reasoning in preschool.
