Robomatter's Robotics Curriculum First To Be Certified By ITEEA

The International Technology and Engineering Educators Association recognizes Robomatter's excellence in developing engineering curriculum as part of Robomatter's Robotics Curriculum Continuum

PITTSBURGH, Feb. 9, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- The International Technology and Engineering Educators Association (ITEEA) has endorsed the engineering levels of Robomatter's Robotics Curriculum Continuum through its Engineering byDesign (EbD) standard, The Engineering Endorsement Matrix. Robomatter is the first organization to attain certification through this rigorous evaluation process.


"Combining technology with science and engineering practices is a core part of any quality STEM curriculum. We live in an age of exponential change due to technology, and those technological advances drive new scientific investigations. One of the goals of the Robomatter curriculum is to show students how real-world scientists and engineers use STEM to solve real-world problems. We are extremely proud to have ITEEA recognize our commitment to STEM education," said Jason McKenna, Director of Educational Strategy at Robomatter.

ITEEA's STEM Center for Teaching and Learning has developed the only standards-based national model for grades K-12 that delivers technological literacy in a STEM context. To evaluate the curriculum, an Engineering Endorsement Matrix was created with the intent of reviewing the degree to which engineering literacy is promoted.

ITEEA President Jared Bitting commented, "Having met the criteria of The Engineering Endorsement Matrix, ITEEA is pleased to endorse the Robomatter curriculum. Robomatter exemplifies the degree to which engineering literacy is promoted through content and alignment to the Standards for Technological Literacy."

Using constructivist models, students participating in Robomatter's Curriculum Continuum learn science and math concepts and apply them to science and engineering principles in an authentic, problem/project-based environment.
