The Joan Ganz Cooney Center at Sesame Workshop and New America

The Joan Ganz Cooney Center at Sesame Workshop and New America will launch a project to identify and spread new ideas on how best to integrate STEM into early learning settings. With support from the National Science Foundation, they will identify the most pressing challenges in promoting more effective early childhood learning and teaching across the STEM field. They will also host a two-day action forum this summer to formulate a multi-sector action plan.  The project will publish a blueprint specifying how the national research agencies and the NSF can expand and target necessary investments in research on early learning and STEM.
