Therefore, the underlying teaching philosophy in the innovation and entrepreneurshippathway is the students’ learning outcomes, which are achieved through hands-on andexperimental studies rather than traditional textbook and lecture based learning only. In response,the authors aim to create real life project scenarios for students, which include creating businesscanvas as well as business

Although elementary sciencecurriculum (i.e. FOSS, STC, Insights) and elementary engineering curriculum (i.e.Engineering is Elementary, Project Lead the Way) exist, they are typically notintegrated. The STEM disciplines are still taught as independent silos. Elementaryteachers typically have different curriculum materials for each subject, and elementaryengineering curricula is in its infancy. In other words, a ‘STEM Curriculum’ does not yetexist, so teachers are expected to teach separate engineering and science curriculum.This leaves minimal opportunities for integration of science and engineering, much lessfor math and technology

While adhering to thespirit and much of the content of the original curriculum, we added material, created newhands-on projects, introduced a flipped instructional model for the first course in the sequence,and experimented with an alternative final project model.
