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 Activities 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: Send your Word template files for each lesson and activity, along with associated image and attachment files to TeachEngineering. 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.
Note: If you are emailing a submission, please limit your attachments to less than 1.5MB with this first email; you can send additional files in subsequent emails once a TE team member has responded.
