learning while still ensuring students are provided with the requiredtechnical material can be an issue due to time constraints. Most engineering courses need the fullin-class time throughout the semester to ensure students are taught the technical content that isrequired for future courses or a future career. To allow for both active learning and teaching therequired technical material, a fundamental change in how the course is taught is needed. Byhaving students learn the lecture material outside of class, the time spent in class can be used tobetter engage students in active learning. In this approach, often called a flipped classroom,students partake in assigned materials before class by either watching prerecorded lecture videos,reading

Not only does this underrepresentation of low-SES graduates impact the overall numbers ofSTEM professionals in the U.S., but it also means that those graduates are missing out on all ofthe financial and professional benefits that a job in STEM offers.To address the representation gap in STEM for low-income students, the National ScienceFoundation created the Scholarships in STEM (S-STEM) grant program. NSF seeks to supportevidence-based initiatives that will support low-income STEM students financially and in othernon-financial ways.

We present two cases of parallel pathways, (1) musical artifacts and (2) large-scale interactive artifacts, to demonstrate the multiple, parallel life pathways that Makers take to making their artifacts and the contextual events and activities that are critical to the direction of these pathways.
