Museums Victoria offers professional learning programs for educators and teachers using the VEYLDF within their service. We are thrilled to offer these free programs in partnership with the Department of Education (Victoria).

STEM Beyond is a virtual 60-minute webinar that will show you ways to better engage with your families through a ‘STEM lens’. With a deep dive into the Partnerships with Families practice principle, we give you ideas and strategies to connect and engage the families of the children in your care. Participants who are new to the critical role STEM plays in early childhood are encouraged to complete STEM Curious prior.

Because of the STEM professional development day I am now introducing a STEM element into everyday activities... thank you for helping me to think differently about ordinary activities.Early Childhood Educator and MV Professional Learning attendee, 2022
