Its inquiry-based lessons and hands-on activities use real-life engineering as a vehicle for the integration of science and math in P-12 classrooms. Mapped to educational content standards, the activities are age-appropriate, inexpensive to conduct, and relevant to students’ daily lives, helping science and math come alive. The collection is a powerful resource for those in P-12 or higher education, industry and professional communities wanting to improve STEM literacy, to engage young students in the joys and creativity of engineering and the design process, and to increase the number of students pursuing STEM careers.<br>This paper investigates TeachEngineering usage trends and curricular submission statistics. Specifically, we analyze the submission process for curriculum contributed from external authors, suggest practices for submitting new curriculum, and discuss possible support avenues for future submissions.10aBIS1 aReitsma, Reindert1 aZarske, M.1 aSullivan, J.1 aKlenk, P.1 aForbes, M.1 aCarlson, D.  u/biblio/teachengineering-digital-library-improving-access-p-12-engineering-conversation-000459nas a2200181   4500008004100000245002400041210002200065260000900087300001000096490000700106653000800113100001700121700001600138700001700154700002000171700002200191856006400213       2000                        eng d00aA Living Laboratory0 aLiving Laboratory  c2000  a31-400 v8810aBIS1 aLightner, M.1 aCarlson, D.1 aSullivan, J.1 aBrandemuehl, M.1 aReitsma, Reindert  u/biblio/living-laboratory-0
