Preface
Early Engineering Learning is a volume within the Springer series, Early Mathematics Learning and Development. The collection of volumes published in this series explores a range of perspectives on young children’s developments in mathematics and allied fields. One such field that draws on and fosters young children’s mathematical capabilities is engineering. Despite early childhood being a period of experimentation and curiosity with the natural world and its myriad challenges, children’s natural propensity for engaging in engineering experiences remains untapped. As the chapters in this volume illustrate, we need to capitalize on children’s skills as independent problem solvers who relish challenges, persevere in the face of failure, and learn both from what “works” and what does not.
