Abstract: It is important to immerse children in the exciting world of science from an early age by offering them hands-on activities. STEAM based learning creates an opportunity to learn in a fun environment. Thus, all learning activities are based on finding solutions to real-world problems. I am convinced that for science, the child’s age does not matter. Both 5-year-old and older (students) can get acquainted with the same topic, but the way of teaching and the depth are different. It is important for me to give children a broad perspective on the world around them. And I am satisfied when I get an emotional response from my graduates. Maintaining a balance between experimentation and mandatory educational material is one of the biggest challenges on the road to innovation. Studying the world has always been for dreamers, such as the children of the second age group (4 – 5 years old) group ‘Bees’ at Druzhba Kindergarten. I prefer the freedom to choose non-traditional topics myself, because they are interesting and creativity wins the children.
Keywords: STEAM, an experimental work
