Access free resources to engage K-12 STEM learners!
The NCWIT K-12 Alliance invites all formal and informal educators to attend an interactive huddle and learn about Teach Engineering, a robust digital library of more than 1,850 free lessons and hands-on STEM activities. Join in at 3 pm PT | 4 pm MT | 5 pm CT | 6 pm ET on December 4th, 2024, to discover how rapid prototyping can engage K-12 students.
This event is free and open to the public, and is designed for school administrators, counselors, educators, student advocates, and others who support student inclusion and success. Invite peers, colleagues, and leaders who are dedicated to increasing the meaningful participation of underrepresented students in K-12 computing and technology education to join!
Founded with funding from the National Science Foundation (NSF), an NCWIT Lifetime Partner, at the University of Colorado – Boulder, NCWIT’s home campus, this extensive educational resource was created to help educators integrate standards-aligned engineering lessons and activities into K-12 STEM classrooms and boost student engagement. The curricula provided align with Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) and the collection is designed to empower engineering education on a shoe-string budget. Educators can:
- Browse activities, lessons, units, and challenges
- Filter by grade level and age group, and by time required
- Search specifically for NGSS and Common Core Math-aligned options
Teach Engineering also offers periodic professional development opportunities for educators, and regularly presents new resources at conferences. Learn more about the program online and follow on Linkedin | Instagram | Facebook | Twitter to learn of upcoming events and new resources.
Meet the presenter
Stephanie leads the development and implementation of strategic programs and initiatives that NCWIT, its alliance members, and its national partners use to build and sustain capacity — including Teach Engineering. Previously, she was a public education teacher in the state of Colorado, where she taught science, health, and physical education. Stephanie also worked extensively on STEM curriculum development for many private and public organizations.
This national alliance is focused on increasing equitable inclusion in K-12 computer science education. Member organizations across the country work alongside NCWIT and benefit from an exclusive invitation to the annual NCWIT Summit, guidance in applying research-based strategies for creating inclusion, free resources to bolster recruitment and persistence, and more. Organizations can apply to join and mobilize year round with a network of formal and informal educators and other adult influencers working together nationwide to create lasting impact. Individuals can also host events and participate in NCWIT recognition programs:
