Starting at an early age
Kids should be more than just book smart, which is why one Coney Island kindergarten teacher is trying to implement a program called STEAM education that would give children the technical training that they deserve, starting at an early age.
Scott Krivitsky is focused on starting STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering Arts and Mathematics), a program that seemingly has never been done in New York before. It consists of an education model that would train kids for the work force, beginning in kindergarten and going through the college years.
Were starting them early on the basics, he remarked. When I went to school, vocational education was an option for me, Krivitsky noted, explaining that what he is trying to do is develop a tremendous program, that unfortunately not enough people know about.
