Active in engineering outreach? Or maybe just starting out?

You need reliable, fact-based information about what’s going on in the field. But that’s hard to find. People are too busy running their own programs, doing their day jobs, meeting their own local needs. There’s no time for gathering and making sense of information about what everyone else is doing.

Start Engineering publishes educational materials
to help today's youth understand and identify pathways into
STEM careers like engineering and cybersecurity.
We also develop informational resources for educators
to guide and encourage their students to find
the STEM pathway that's right for them.

Inspire kids of all ages about future careers in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math), with our colorful and creative books, cards and more. The goal of Start-Engineering is to inspire and engage children from elementary school through high school about engineering. Through the use of poetry and whimsical and fun illustrations, our children’s books, magazines, flashcards, and posters aim to create an environment where children can learn about the crucial role engineering plays in their lives.
