We are excited to announce our latest collaboration with LabXchange to empower students and educators everywhere to discover their inner engineer! Educators can now incorporate a sampling of EiE’s research-based, hands-on engineering curricula and family resources into customized online learning experiences on LabXchange, a free online learning platform created at Harvard University with support from the Amgen Foundation. 

This National Engineers Week, February 20th to the 26th, take a moment to celebrate all of the engineers and future engineers in your life!

At Salemwood School in Malden, Massachusetts, yesterday, Ms. Sarah Augustyniak’s first grade class was excited to learn how Mariana Becomes a Butterfly! Thanks to the generosity of National Grid and support from the Adelaide Breed Bayrd Foundation, thousands of students in Malden now have access to EiE^® Try It! Kits and storybooks. These resources provide hands-on science and engineering experience to encourage STEM learning outside of the classroom.
