Technology Engineering Education Teacher Resources
index - resources - teacher resources 23rd Annual Tech ChallengeTech Challenge is an annual team design challenge for youth in grades 5 through 12. A signature program of The Tech Museum of Innovation, Tech Challenge introduces and reinforces the scientific process with a hands-on project geared to solve a real-world problem. All this, and it's FUN!!! The project-based nature of this program makes it unique from any other science-based program or competition for youth. Open and accessible to anyone in the 5th to 12th grade age range, Tech Challenge provides its participants with the chance to know what it's like to be a Silicon Valley innovator! This website contains numerous information sheets and exercises to enhance the study, understanding and teaching of Design and Technology.
A World In Motion brings math and science principles to life through highly interactive learning experiences that incorporate the laws of physics, motion, flight, and electronics. Each of the AWIM Challenges is designed around current math, science, and technology standards
Center for the Study of Invention and Innovation The Lemelson Center documents, interprets, and disseminates information about inventions and innovations. The center supports programs and events to encourage young people to be inventive and to recognize the role of invention and innovation in U. S. history.
K-12 Education Curriculum - CIESE sponsors and designs interdisciplinary projects that teachers throughout the world can use to enhance their curriculum through compelling use of the Internet. We focus on projects that utilize real time data available from the Internet, and collaborative projects that utilize the Internet's potential to reach peers and experts around the world. Below is a catalog of projects that are currently being or have been sponsored by CIESE . Each project has a brief description and links to the National Science Standards and NCTM math standards it supports.

New Robotics Module in NASA’s Do-It-Yourself Podcast
NASA uses robots in the form of aircraft, arms, space probes and telescopes. These robots do everything from explore the solar system to build new rockets. Y our students can create a podcast about robots using NASA audio and video clips, images, and information. NASA Education's newest DIY Podcast topic module is entitled "Robots."
This module features NASA robotic systems engineer Fernando Zumbado discussing robots and how NASA uses them. The module's 22 video clips include Mars rover animation and B-roll footage of several NASA robots. The Robots module also has 11 audio clips. Students download these NASA multimedia materials and edit them with their own recordings and narration to create a podcast.
Students can build multimedia projects, while teachers meet national education standards. A companion blog offers tips and suggestions for incorporating the DIY Podcast into the classroom. To learn more and to start making podcasts, visit www.nasa.gov/audience/foreducators/diypodcast/index.html
This site includes curriculum, PowerPoint, lesson plans and integration of science technology engineering and math (STEM) that deals with academic integrators, how rubber band vehicles are made, lesson plans, simple machines, and how these lessons integrate into our curricula.
Scientific Visualization Activities This site includes curriculum, PowerPoint, lesson plans and integration of science technology engineering and math (STEM) that deal with scientific visualization: bio-metrics, medical technology, nano-technology, weather, energy and power, and prosthetics.
STEM Initiatives
