BOSCH Engineering is Elementary
Project Description
We have been fortunate to receive a grant for the last three years from Bosch Corporation to support science and engineering instruction in our school for third, fourth, and fifth grade students. BOSCH Engineering is Elementary (EiE) is a STEM curricular program that integrates the science students are already learning in elementary school with engineering design.
There are many reasons to introduce children to engineering in elementary school. Engineering projects integrate other disciplines, such as math, science, and Language Arts. It fosters problem-solving skills that are demanded by our state standards. Children are fascinated with building and with taking things apart to see how they work. By encouraging these explorations in elementary school, we can keep these interests alive. Also, engineering and technological literacy are necessary for the 21st century.
