It all begins with an idea.
The International Technology and Engineering Educators Association’s (ITEEA) STEM±Center for Teaching and Learning™ has developed the only standards-based national model for Grades K-12 that develops technology and engineering literacy through a STEM context.
The model, Engineering byDesign™ (EbD), is based on the Common Core State Standards for Mathematics and English Language Arts, Next Generation Science Standards, and the Standards for Technological Literacy. Additionally, the K-12 Program has been aligned to the National Academy of Engineering’s Grand Challenges for Engineering.
Using inquiry and design-based models, students engaged in the program learn concepts and principles through authentic, project-based teaching and learning. Through an integrative STEM context, EbD™ leverages all four disciplines of STEM, as well as English Language Arts, to help students understand the complexities of tomorrow.
Curriculum
EbD™ offers the Premier Standards-Based Curriculum Model designed to be flexible, affordable, and accountable.
The PreK-12 curriculum is based on the Standards for Technological and Engineering Literacy, as well as national standards for science and math as well as Common Core and the NAE’s Grand Challenges for Engineering.
