Abstract
Technology-enhanced learning environments in the fields of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) are popular in both formal and informal educational settings. STEM learning in childhood provides students with hands-on experiences in research and problem-solving, affecting their future studies and career paths. The objective of this workshop is to bring together researchers, educators, designers, and practitioners to exchange insights on utilizing technology in creating engaging STEM learning experiences for children. The collaborative approach of the workshop is expected to facilitate a rich exchange of ideas and insights among attendees, contributing to the improvement of technology driven STEM learning for children.
