Virginia Children's Engineering Council

Welcome to Virginia Children's Engineering Council

The Virginia Children’s Engineering Council was established to help elementary and secondary students, teachers and educators become more aware of the S.T.E.M. world around them. Over the years, many teachers have enjoyed professional development that has developed teaching strategies involving students with the engineering design process to support student success on the Virginia' Standards of Learning . This transforms teaching to a more student-centered approach that levels the playing field by addressing strengths and talents of all the individuals.
