Course Overview
Engineering is the least understood letter in STEM — and the one most teachers feel least prepared to teach. Christine Cunningham provides a ready-to-use framework for integrating the engineering design process into elementary curriculum, built on real-world problems that give students a reason to think critically, collaborate, and create.
With more states adopting standards that include engineering, the demand is growing fast and most teachers haven’t had the training to meet it. This course gives you that foundation — a practical approach to teaching engineering thinking that fits into your existing STEM instruction without requiring an engineering background to pull off.
