Abstract
The STEM education philosophy spans across disciplines such as science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. In the context of thematic activities in kindergartens, teachers can utilize the STEM education philosophy to cultivate children’s innovative thinking qualities and practical operation skills, helping them develop a scientific inquiry spirit and skills. This paper takes the development of science inquiry activities in kindergartens as a path, exploring the significance and implementation paths of applying the STEM education philosophy in such activities.
