Presentation by Ioannis Miaoulis, President and Director of the Museum of Science, Boston on k-12 Engineering Education.
Massachusetts was the first state in the nation to include Engineering as a topic in its Learning Standards.
Public schools from pre-kindergarten to high school are now including engineering as a new discipline. Dr. Miaoulis describes the value of including Engineering in the formal curriculum content for elementary, middle school and high school level. He also discusses the necessary partnerships between the state Department of Education, federal government, school districts, teacher groups, colleges, universities and museums and industry that are supporting this effort and the evolution of the program.

Hi. I am a graduate student in Beijing, China.
Like your bolg very much. It is cute.
I am doing my thesis now, related to K-12 engineering education.
I am studying cases both in America and China.
So the information in your blog is really useful.
But there is something I can’t figure out myself.
When and where was the concept of K-12 engineering education first mentioned?
Any help from you is appreciated.
Thank you.
