SUMMARY:New Thinking: New Possibilities Webinar Series: Developing
 imagination in play to develop imagination in STEM learning!
DESCRIPTION:Young children are naturally curious about STEM concepts in
 coming to terms with the world around them. Join Laureate Professor Marilyn
 Fleer as she transports us into the Conceptual PlayWorld (a play-based and
 innovative model of intentional teaching) where young children embark on
 imaginary journeys to solve challenges through STEM concepts. “If you
 develop children’s imagination through play\, you are actually developing
 their foundational capacity to be thinking abstractly and to imagine
 concepts – because a lot of concepts are very imaginary.”\nLaureate
 Professor Marilyn Fleer began her career as an early childhood educator\,
 having experience in long day care\, preschool\, and later in the
 professional learning of STEM for teachers in the birth to the end of
 school sector. She is passionate about play\, intentional teaching of
 STEM\, and in designing imaginative and inspiring play programs. Her
 research at Monash University is funded by the Australian Research
 Council\, and has been recognised nationally through being the first women
 in education to be bestowed the award of an ARC Laureate Fellow in
 2018.\n\nMarilyn holds the Foundation Chair in Early Childhood Education
 and Development at Monash\, where she's also a Kathleen Fitzpatrick
 Australian Laureate Fellow. She researches in the areas of early childhood
 science\, engineering and technologies\, with particular attention on
 digital visual methodology framed through cultural-historical theory. Her
 Laureate Fellowship on the theme "Imagination in play and imagination in
 STEM" investigates how families and teachers create conditions for
 children’s conceptual thinking in play-based settings.\nTarget audience:
