Publish your K-12 engineering curriculum in TeachEngineering!

Do you have ideas for engaging engineering activities for youngsters? Do you want to share these ideas with other teachers, engineering educators or engineers working with K-12 students? To publish your K-12 engineering lessons, hands-on activities or multi-week units, submit them for inclusion in the TeachEngineering online digital library collection.

Steps to publish your curricular materials in the TeachEngineering collection:

Step 1: Create and test with students your original curriculum that teaches engineeering or teaches science and/or math concepts  with application or context to engineering. For guidance, see Suggestions & Tips (pdf) and Engineering Content Review Rubric (pdf) and K-12 Content Review Rubric (pdf) and TE Engineering Categories Description (pdf).

Step 2: Prepare your curriculum in the TeachEngineering unit, lesson and activity Microsoft Word templates, which contain both required and optional components, giving you flexibility in fitting your material into a standardized format that results in materials from many originators having a similar "look and feel" to TeachEngineering users. Use the links below to learn more and obtain the templates.

• Introductory Notes about the Templates (pdf)


• Lesson Template - with description of components (pdf)
• Lesson Template - blank (for you to fill out) (doc)
• Lesson Template - example filled-in (pdf) and rendered on TE


• Activity Template - with description of components (pdf)
• Activity Template - blank (for you to fill out) (doc)
• Activity Template - example filled-in (pdf) and rendered on TE


• Unit Template - with description of components (pdf)
• Unit Template - blank (for you to fill in) (doc)
• Unit Template - example filled-in (pdf) and rendered on TE


• About Images (pdf)

Step 3: E-mail TeachEngineering and let us know your name, the organization or educational institution you work with, and the names of the units, lessons, and activities you are ready to submit. Do not attach your files.

Step 4: We will send you a username and password for the TeachEngineering Digital Library Submission Portal. Through this website, you will upload your curricular materials (your Word template files and associated image and attachment files) and track their progress through the review and publication process. After a review by external teacher and engineer reviewers, and a final revision/edit, we will convert them into XML documents to upload to TE.
