Engineering Everywhere (EE) is an engineering curriculum for middle school‐aged youth in afterschool and camp programs. EE empowers youth to apply their STEM knowledge to tackle real‐world engineering problems using the engineering design process, creativity, and collaboration, while also enhancing their communication skills. Curriculum consists of twelve units; each unit includes 6‐10 activities; and each activity takes 45‐60 minutes to complete. Currently the Engineering Everywhere Curriculum is complementary for US. Educators.
Learning objectives
Overall goal of the Engineering Everywhere Curriculum is to:
- Introduce students to the Engineering Design Process
- Help students Connect Engineering, Science and Technology
- Help students develop Contextual Problem‐Solving Skills
- Help students develop collaborative team working skills
- Help students develop communication skills
- Help students experiment and tackle fear of failure.
but each one of the 12 units has more specific learning objectives.
Available partnership opportunities
The projects can support collaboration with afterschool teachers across the same or different
classes/cohorts. They can also can be implemented in summer camps among children of different
ages. Parents could also use it as an inspiration for various projects kids can work in at home or
plan relative weekend excursion with kids.
Recommended resources
Different resources are required for every unit. Many Engineering Everywhere engineering
challenges use materials that are commonly available at grocery, hardware, or craft stores.
