Engineering and Computer Science Essentials™ Two programs, same proven-teaching principles. Game-Changing STEM Curricula Explore Engineering and Computer Science Essentials™ to see how science, math, engineering, and computer science practices can work together to help learners build problem-solving skills and resilience. Our programs, available for integrated or individual subject learning, promote access, equity, and excellence in STEM academics through fun, engaging classroom lessons. From standards-aligned instructional materials to classroom resources and companion storybooks, both topics included in Essentials follow the same teaching practices and provide the necessary support you need to teach engineering and/or computer science in any learning environment. EXPLORE ENGINEERING AND COMPUTER SCIENCE ESSENTIALS Based on the Engineering Design Process and EiE’s Habits of Mind as the foundation, Essentials opens access to STEM for all learners. High impact Resources for Diverse Learners makes learning equitable for all students with vocabulary supports, scaffolding to create context and build background, guidance for differentiated learning, and support for learners at point-of-use to help them express understanding in multiple ways. Linked by engaging characters from around the world and grade-level appropriate concepts, this program creates a learning environment where students can move seamlessly from engineering to computer science units as they become creative problem solvers. Download Both Lesson Previews Computer Science and Engineering in Elementary School? Introducing computer science and engineering concepts to children early helps them develop a foundational understanding of the world around them and explore how to improve it. Exposure to both subjects in elementary grades ensures more equity in learning as children start to gain awareness and interest in STEM. Engineering and Computer Science Essentials™ in Action Watch this quick video to learn how Essentials promotes curiosity, discovery, and STEM literacy as students explore the principles of engineering and computer science. Coming Soon! Computer Science for Kindergarten. Start your students off right with the necessary foundations in computer science to encourage a lifelong love of STEM.

What a great opportunity to have the students share their learning through coding an animation. During the lesson, the students were engaged problem solvers eager to share their creations with their community."
