With congressional funding earmarked for education, curriculum leaders and administrators from Central Kitsap School District in Washington state were on the lookout for new materials to support their teaching goals. After seeing success in STEM among teachers who were already using EiE^® units in their classrooms, Doug Dowell, STEM Coordinator and Grant Supervisor for CKSD, sought to partner with EiE to expand upon that success district-wide.

As part of our ongoing mission to bring high-quality, equitable STEM learning to students everywhere, Diana Christopherson, one of EiE^®’s Professional Development Managers, has just returned from a trip to Nome, Alaska supporting a training opportunity for local STEM educators.

At EiE^® we are committed to supporting the entire learning process, from the academic subject itself to the emotional skills needed to prepare students for the world ahead of them.

Anyone, even young children, can be engineers. With EiE^®’s Wee Engineer and EiE for Kindergarten units, you can foster young learners’ creativity and put them on a problem solving path before they reach elementary school.

It is never too early to start thinking about summer! This year, you can inspire excitement and curiosity for STEM with programs from EiE that get kids thinking – and acting – like engineers.
