Submit a Curricular Resource
to the Teach Engineering Digital Library
Coming soon: Teach Engineering will offer a self-paced “Publishing on Teach Engineering: A Guide for Authors” course to help authors prepare and submit original, high-quality curricular resources.
In the meantime, authors interested in publishing with Teach Engineering can email our publishing team at info@teachengineering.org to schedule a publication webinar and learn more about the publication process.
Our goal is to support authors in planning and developing high-quality, hands-on, design-focused STEM activities that effectively serve the K–12 engineering education community
It's time to start creating!
Important: Review these documents to guide you in your preparations:
Note: We require each original, hands-on submission to be tested before we publish. We will need to know the date(s) of testing, location (this can be an informal environment), and approximate number of students who tested the resource.
Now that you've created and tested your curriculum, it's time to write it:
Depending on the type of resource, download the appropriate template:
Unit Template
Lesson Template*
Activity Template
*Teach Engineering does NOT accept standalone lessons; each lesson must be associated with at least one original activity.
Please use our worksheet template (DOCX) and PowerPoint template (PPTX) if you intend to submit worksheets and/or presentations in your unit, lesson, and/or activity.
The submitting author needs to complete the TE Submittal Request Form to initiate the submission process. The form requires the submitting author’s name and contact information and includes Teach Engineering’s Submittal Agreement, which must be reviewed and accepted before a submission can proceed.
The form also collects information about the curriculum being submitted, including:
- The title of the submission
- The supporting organization and/or educational institution involved in developing the curriculum (or "Independent" if no organization was involved)
- Contact information for the curriculum coordinator or principal investigator at the supporting organization (or "NA" if not applicable)
- The NSF grant number, if the curriculum was developed as part of an NSF-funded project (e.g., RET or ERC) (or "NA" if not applicable)
Finally, the form asks whether you need to request a username and password for the online Teach Engineering submission portal. Only new authors are required to request credentials.
Please note: Authors who already have Teach Engineering credentials must still complete the Submittal Request Form for each new submission.
Reach out to info@teachengineering.org if you have any questions about the submittal agreement.
Using the username and password provided via email by the Teach Engineering editorial team, log in to the online Teach Engineering submission portal and upload your submission materials.
