The project is divided into three phases:

• Phase I of this project is to identify innovative practices and award the most innovative educators from high schools around the country.  
• Phase II will catalog the best practice material and curricula on the internet for wide dissemination to Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) teachers.  
• Phase III will pool these innovations with other collected K-12 resources of ASME and other societies. 

Project Objectives

• Recognize, reward, and celebrate innovative and exemplary design-oriented engineering high school curricula and practices by leading STEM teachers. 
• Publish and promote, in ASME and other technology education forums, education materials and activities that bring a realistic engineering design experience to high school students as part of their prescribed curriculum, 
• Create opportunities for a cross-pollination environment where teachers can learn design and production from engineers, and where engineers can learn effective ways to outreach to their children in STEM.
