the development of a novel high school engineering textbook. This developmentis unique within engineering in several different ways. First, the text is a Flexbook – an open-sourcebook developed with the support of and within the context of the CK12 Foundation; the Flexbookformat and open-source licensing allows anyone to extend and customize the book. Second, writingthe text was a collaboration between university engineering and education faculty with input fromCK12 personnel; this collaboration has led to a textbook structure that supports constructivistapproaches to learning. Third, the text conforms to a draft K–12 standard for engineering content.CK12 is a non-profit foundation launched in 2007 to reduce the cost of textbooks for the K–12
