You are cordially invited to explore Get Caught Engineering, a resource site to help teachers and parents connect “classroom learning” with real life applications in STEM: science, technology, engineering and math. Our goal is to provide lessons, blogs, ideas, and resources for hands-on engineering experiences that excite and challenge elementary children. We share ways to integrate engineering into all subject areas.

April 29th Just added a new blog about a cool STEM resource and a new lesson on our Get Caught Engineering web site, as well as lots of great resources on our Facebook page and Pinterest page.

Gerlach Grade Level: Elementary School a Journal Article 3. Archive: Using the NGSS Practices in the Elementary Grades, January 29, 2013 Grade Level: College, Elementary School, Informal Education a Wonderful archive of the web seminar

I have been watching this site, http://www.getcaughtengineering.com/ grow over the past couple of months and have been really impressed with the resources I have been hooked to when I liked them on Facebook. I have really enjoyed being directed to a wide variety of resources, videos and ideas. I can’t wait to use a bunch of them with my middle school students. What I can’t figure out is if these same resources and information are located somewhere on the actual website and I am just missing it.

Thank you so much for your support of our site. We use FB to quickly share items we find, so we hope people are "liking" our FB page so they get those right away. Our web site and blog is a work in progress for us as we figure out Wordpress. (a "teaching old dogs new tricks" situation LOL) So we add things bit a bit more slowly there. New features and additions are being added later this month. We are busily writing new engineering lessons, a new blog addition, tracking down more resources, and making connection that will help everyone this new school year. We were, of course, thrilled to be featured in the NSTA Reports and on the Freebie list this summer!

Wendy and Cheryl, I appreciate all of your hard work in maintaining the website, Facebook and Pinterest all at once. Technology is our friend, but oftentimes difficult to keep up to date. I am ecstatic at the posts you have made to Facebook and have found many new and wonderful sites and resources to use with my middle school Design and Engineering students. I look forward to the day the resources will be on the website as well as Facebook mostly because Facebook is blocked in my, and I am sure, other schools. The good news though is I can always access Facebook information on my timeline through my phone, copy the resource to my email and send it to myself to access the resource that way. I love all of the fresh new resources you have brought my way. Just this morning I visited the Family Engineering website you posted on Facebook, http://www.familyengineering.org and ordered a copy of their “Family Engineering: An Activity & Even Planning Guide”. The table of contents provided an insight to a bunch of activities that have been updated to accommodate the everyday classroom that can be used as a Family Event Night. They had me with the table of contents, but my heart when I opened the “Try an Engineering Challenge” and discovered a use for all of those Dollar Tree squeeze bottles I have been hoarding. I can’t wait for it to arrive.

Another good resource from Discovery Education: http://www.discoveryeducation.com/STEM/connect-the-dots.cfm?CFID=946706&CFTOKEN=37119529

I love the engineering focus! Very engaging for students.
