Our Mission:

Engineering possibilities
for K-12

We work with K-12 educators to make engineering possible for them to teach and possible for their students to learn. The Engineers On Deck teacher training program is accessible and affordable for elementary, middle, and high school teachers. We customize our services based on the needs, schedules, and capacities of schools participating. We invite all educators to explore the possibilities of engineering and applied sciences for their classrooms.

Our Vision

We aspire to provide effective, affordable educator training and outreach to make the engineering and applied science fields accessible and possible for all members of the K-12 community.

What we do

Engineers On Deck exists to help schools meet the teacher training challenges that keep them from making engineering part of their teaching and learning activities. We work as an agile, responsive partner for organizations with an interest in building the capacity of K-12 educators to prepare students for continuing STEM studies and eventual careers in the STEM workforce. The Engineers On Deck approach teaches engineering design as a way to integrate and leverage math and science learning to show teachers and students what engineering is really about and to make the field a viable, imaginable field of study and possible work.

What they're saying

"This was one of the best PD’s I’ve attended in a long time. I can’t imagine how great it would be in person.  But was amazing even virtual.  I learned a ton and got to see how this can be done in a virtual setting and being remote won’t hinder the experience.”

“These tangible experiences beat just reading the information."

“The workshop provided state of the art information.”

"Students will be encouraged to go beyond what was taught."

"It allows children to use their imagination."

‘I have so many ideas for bringing this to students and teachers in my school.  It was great to hear references to how you would modify if in person.  But also got to experience in virtual.  It gives me ideas for what I can do regardless of what school looks like.”

“I collected ideas to motivate students, help me present the material in a very engaging way…to encourage all minorities and different genders to enter the field.”

Get involved

We work with teachers and their schools to develop and plan training workshops that help educators make engineering and related STEM fields lively and engaging elements of their classroom activities. We partner with funding organizations to make these activities as accessible as possible to teachers, offering them at little or no cost to participants.

Who we are

All of us at Engineers On Deck took very different paths into K-12 engineering education. However we are all equally committed and excited about making engineering accessible and engaging for all sectors of the K-12 community. Our backgrounds in engineering, education, fine arts, design, policy, publishing, and non-profits mean that Engineers On Deck can contribute in unique ways to making engineering a substantive part of K-12 teaching and learning.
