Committee On Educator Capacity Building In K-12 Engineering Education

About the Author

The Committee on Educator Capacity Building in K-12 Engineering Education is a distinguished panel of experts convened by the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine to address the critical need for enhancing engineering education in primary and secondary schools. Comprising educators, engineers, policymakers, and researchers, the committee's collaborative efforts focus on developing strategies to equip teachers with the knowledge, skills, and resources necessary to integrate engineering principles into K-12 curricula effectively. Their seminal report, 'Building Capacity for Teaching Engineering in K-12 Education,' provides comprehensive recommendations for professional development, curriculum design, and institutional support, aiming to foster a new generation of innovative thinkers and problem-solvers in an increasingly technology-driven world.
