Argument-Driven Engineering®

Engineering

Our engineering program includes instructional materials, hands-on kits, classroom resources, and professional learning that help teachers lead real-world STEM design challenges.

In a classroom, a STEM camp, or an after-school program, students discover how they can use science, math, and engineering to solve meaningful problems.

Designing Solutions That Make a Difference

Our challenges ask students to solve real problems, like keeping medicine cold or creating hand warmers for people in need. Students see how STEM can improve lives.

Science, Engineering, and Math Together

Each challenge integrates key science, engineering, and math ideas. Students apply what they’re learning to develop thoughtful solutions.

Literacy in the Service of Sense-Making

Students read, talk, and write as part of each challenge to make sense of ideas, refine their thinking, and communicate their solutions.
