This project will open the eyes of elementary students to the engineering world they come across in their daily lives and keep their curiosity alive within the STEM fields. Integrating “Engineering is Elementary,” which is a part of the National Center for Technological Literacy, with the SCSD Science Curriculum will engage students in hands-on, real world engineering experiences. The program will focus on increasing technological literacy through acquiring essential understanding of engineering; increase elementary educator’s abilities to teach engineering and technology; motivating and engaging students to use their knowledge of science engineering to design, create and improve solutions; increase school wide lessons that include engineering at appropriate levels. Funds from the grant will be used to purchase lesson plans, iPads, and EIE materials.
