Engineering is Elementary Resources

Engineering is Elementary (EiE) is an elementary school supplemental curriculum that is based around a story involving an elementary age student working on some sort of engineering problem.  The many available units connect to a broad range of science subjects and connect to the engineering portion of the new national science standards. Each kit is designed for a classroom of 30 students.
