44 Seconds of Science and Art Through Play

In this 44 second video we see young children at Bayside Discovery Learning Center having fun exploring and developing early science and art concepts and skills (STEAM) using discarded plastic containers donated by Harris Corporation, red and yellow caps donated by Collins Aerospace, and colorful fabric pieces donated by Jobbeedu. Through play, the children spontaneously organize, design, engineer and create age-appropriate three-dimensional constructions during self-directed play experiences. Resources are provided by the Reusable Resources Adventure Center, a Young Children Priority One Project sponsored by the Kiwanis Club of Melbourne. This is part of an ongoing play research project of the Institute for Self Active Education (ISAE), a 501(c)3 corporation funded in part by the Kiwanis Foundation of Florida and Dr. Drew’s Discovery Blocks, Inc.
