In today's rapidly changing, technological world, a foundation in Science,Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) is as important as one in English language arts. Likewise, meaningful teaching and learning in STEM must begin as early as it does in English language arts. EbD-TEEMS™ is an acronym for Engineering by Design-Technology, Engineering, Environment, Mathematics, and Science™. It is an integrative, elementary curriculum designed to serve as a model and instructional resource for building a solid foundation in STEM education for all students. The The EbD-TEEMS™ Integrative Curriculum for Elementary STEM (EbD-TEEMS™) leverages technological design challenges in an environmental context as the focus for learning. Science and mathematics conceptual development is supported through strategic integration of key concepts and skills and is the result of aligning the sequence of EbD-TEEMS™ to the sequence of widely adopted science and mathematics curricular programs. Additionally, the Grand Challenges for Engineering identified by the National Academy of Engineering are used as a context for problem solving, and inquiry and design-based instructional strategies further enhance the design of EbD-TEEMS™.
