TeachEngineering[edit | edit source]
TeachEngineering is a digital library that provides a variety of educational resources related to the field of engineering. The resources are designed to be used by K-12 educators in the classroom to enhance the teaching and learning of engineering, science, and mathematics.
Overview[edit | edit source]
TeachEngineering is a collaborative project that was initiated by the University of Colorado Boulder, the University of Virginia, and Duke University. The project is funded by the National Science Foundation and aims to create a comprehensive, user-friendly digital library that provides high-quality, standards-based engineering curricula for K-12 teachers.
The resources available on TeachEngineering include lesson plans, activities, maker challenges, sprinkles, and curricular units. These resources are designed to be interactive, engaging, and relevant to real-world applications of engineering and science.
Content[edit | edit source]
The content on TeachEngineering is organized into various categories, including Disciplinary Core Ideas, Science and Engineering Practices, and Crosscutting Concepts. Each resource is aligned with the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) and includes detailed information about the required materials, preparation, procedure, and assessment.
