EiE Products
EiE® curricula develop students’ engineering habits of mind and their facility with the engineering design process. Teams apply their scientific knowledge, creativity, and collaboration skills as they engage in real-world, hands-on design challenges motivated by a narrative context. By participating in this work, students build their STEM identity.
