The Opportunity Equationrecently posted a series of essays/discussions regarding engineering titled- The “E” in STEM: Clarifying What Engineering Education Means for K-12. This post provides a useful overview of the importance of teaching and learning engineering concepts in K-12 and describes some projects that have had success.

This article could be useful in a session of professional development on K-12 engineering or by a district team, school, grade level team looking to develop a deeper understanding of engineering.
