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: Send your Word template files for each lesson and activity, along with associated image and attachment files to TE. We will tag them into XML documents to upload to TE.
