OUR STORY

Pilot.jpg

Teaching Garage began as a project out of the Harvard Graduate School of Education and Harvard Business School’s iLab in 2013. The goals of this project were to create easy-to-implement, affordable, and developmentally appropriate engineering lessons for elementary school students.

In our research phase, we found that schools across the country shared a common set of challenges in implementing an engineering curriculum:

  • Finding the time to teach engineering as a separate subject

  • Expensive kits representing only one type of engineering

  • Lack of teacher training to teach engineering

  • Lack of common framework for how engineering should be presented to elementary school students

  • Difficulty engaging young students with complicated technical concepts

With the help of industry leaders in STEM, education, and business, what began as a pilot in Boston and Philadelphia developed into a curriculum that’s impacted students all across the country, and now, all around the globe.

We believe in keeping learning fun for teachers and students.

We believe in empowering educators.

We believe in keeping costs low for quality education.
