Teaching Institute for Excellence in STEM

Teaching Institute for Excellence in STEM (TIES) will bring Early Childhood Fab Labs to schools, child care programs, museums and other settings serving our youngest learners. In addition, building on the work happening at the Bay Area Discovery Museum and the Cleveland Children’s Museum, TIES will bring the Early Childhood Fab Lab to Head Start programs throughout the country.  TIES will prototype these Labs in two Head Start programs with the intent to build a scalable model that would enable all Head Start programs to be able to have Early Childhood Fab Labs.
