This technical session will provide an overview of the NSF-funded Engineering For US All (E4USA) project. E4USA is a national pilot of an advanced high school course in engineering that is accessible to all students and that may yield college credit. The speakers will review the national input used to guide the creation of open-source curriculum and professional development materials. They will describe the rollout of curriculum and E4USA teacher expectations during the 2019–2020 pilot year. The session will conclude with pathways and timelines for industry, non-profits, K–12 school systems, and universities for contributing to and/or participating in E4USA in the 2020–2021 school year.
