The International Technology and Engineering Educators Association (ITEEA, formerly ITEA) is an organization devoted to improving technology education and engineering through the use of technology, innovation, design, and engineering experiences at the K-12 school levels. It represents over 35,000 technology educators throughout the world. It has members in over 45 countries, most of whom are in North America. The organization seeks to advance technological capabilities for all people and to promote professionalism of those engaged in these pursuits.

ITEEA publishes Technology and Engineering Teacher (K-12) and Children's Technology and Engineering (K-6), The Journal of Technology Education (a professional journal), STEM Connections, and a variety of other publications that lead the profession by providing teaching directions, instructional ideas, and networking opportunities.

ITEEA also holds an annual conference for educators, administrators, and other leaders in the field of technology and engineering education.{{Cite web|url=https://www.iteea.org/Activities/Conference.aspx|title=ITEEA - Conferences|website=www.iteea.org|access-date=2018-01-07}} The 2015 ITEEA conference was held in Milwaukee, WI.{{Cite web|url=https://unity3d.com/events/international-technology-and-engineering-educators-association-77th-annual-conference-iteea|title=Unity - International Technology and Engineering Educators Association 77th Annual Conference (ITEEA)|website=Unity|language=en|access-date=2018-01-07}}
