With Chevron’s support, the National Academy of Engineering launched a new website, www.linkengineering.org, that helps pre–K–12 educators in the United States implement engineering education. LinkEngineering provides the first-ever platform for K–12 teachers and informal educators to learn and work as a community toward the goal of improving U.S. precollege engineering education.
