In Focus: Partnerships Implementing Engineering Education - 2nd and 3rd Grade Lessons
Project Overview
Sponsored by the NSF (National Science Foundation), the Partnerships Implementing Engineering Education project was a collaborative effort between Worcester Public School teachers and Worcester Polytechnic Institute students to develop and deliver engineering and technology lesson plans that were accessible to teachers and ensured the sustainability of the Massachusetts science, technology, and engineering curriculum. We created and tested a comprehensive engineering curriculum for the second and third grade classrooms at Midland Street and Flagg Street elementary schools that supplemented the existing science curriculum.
