Curious George Takes on Civil Engineering with ASCE

Curious George

With help from ASCE, Curious George is bringing civil engineering to students in grades K-1! ASCE has joined Universal Studios and Scholastic Inc. in developing educational materials that introduce engineering design concepts to students in grades K-1. Engineers and educators now have access to reproducible lesson plans that supplement a series of televised Curious George shows. Activities have been designed to reinforce objects and concepts familiar to little ones who want to “Become a Builder” just like George.

To qualify for a free copy of the Curious George Let’s Build teaching guide and poster, email outreach@asce.org with information about your upcoming outreach event. And that’s not all! ASCE has also made it possible for educators across the country to invite a civil engineer to their classroom to spread the excitement of engineering. To register a civil engineer or educator for this exciting program, visit the Scholastic Web site.
