Did you know MnDOT offers a free STEM curriculum for grades K-12 to teachers, parents, students or anyone interested in STEM? The Bridge Up! curriculum was a collaborative development by multiple organizations designed to connect kids to real-life engineering. The interactive curriculum integrates bridge architecture, design and engineering into a school curriculum that meets current Minnesota and Wisconsin education standards and benchmarks.
Bridge Up! curriculum is fun, easy to use and fully customizable by the user … and did I mention it’s free? Available to everyone, the curriculum includes:
· iBook for grades K-3
· Web modules for grades 4-8
· Lesson plans (PDF format) for grades K-12
It was written BY teachers, FOR teachers, but can be used by anyone! Kids can work their way through the iBook and web modules with a helper or on their own.
