Great Lakes Press, publisher of “Engineering Your Future” introduction to engineering resources for high school and middle school students, now offers Foundations of Engineering & Technology curriculum for Elementary School students.

Nationally, there is an increasing push for greater technological literacy among students. These new resources are ideal for providing younger students with an elemental, foundational knowledge of principles related to technology, laying a strong foundation for further education in engineering and technology in later years.

Separate units are offered for each grade level, kindergarten through fifth grade. Each grade-level unit includes instructional material, worksheets, student activities, and hands-on projects.

Everything a teacher needs to successfully introduce young students to the foundational principles of technology is included. Materials are designed to be interwoven into the various topics of existing general education curriculum, and are correlated to national STEM standards.

All units are available only as PDF downloads at $99 for the first unit, and $69 for each additional unit. Purchase allows a two-year use within the school. For use at additional schools, additional units must be purchased at the $69 price.

The PDF downloads are password protected. After your purchase is complete, we'll send you a link to a download page, as well as the password(s) for the unit(s) purchased.
