Engineering is Elementary Workshop for Gr. 1-5 Teachers Integrating Engineering & Technology into the Elementary Curriculum Workshop was held Thursday & Friday, June 14-15, 2007 ~ 9:00 am to 3:30 pm (EST) Copper Country ISD in Hancock (809 Hecla St.)

Engineering is Elementary (EiE) is a new research-based series of 20 curriculum units for grades 1-5 developed by the Boston Museum of Science. EiE introduces elementary students to engineering and technology concepts and skills. EiE activities include real-world problem-solving such as designing bridges, windmills, water filters, plant pollinators, alarm circuits, erosion control, solar-powered homes, dams, prosthetics, and more. EiE lessons engage students in engineering design challenges while meeting state content expectations for core subjects. 

Each of the 20 EiE units comes with lessons, student handouts, teacher background information, assessments, rubrics, and a storybook featuring a child character who is challenged to “engineer” a solution to a problem in their community---around the world. This 2-day workshop will help teachers integrate engineering, technology, the engineering design process, and other engineering topics into the teaching of core subject areas: science, math, social studies, and language arts.
