Teachers have found themselves quickly creating distancelearning materials to provide equal or greater educational opportunity and engagement as in-person instruction. This shift is met with parallel increased demand on students to independentlymanage their learning and coursework with the absence of in-person supervision, support, andpeer interaction. In this work, we describe our approach and observations in transitioningDiscovery, a secondary student science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM)education program, to a virtual platform.Developed by graduate students in 2016, Discovery was designed to engage secondary studentsin semester-long inquiry-based projects within the context of biomedical

with the possibility of a cultural technoscience by drawing onengineering studies to introduce engineering mindsets [31], progress as a political term, and theassumption that new is always better [32]. The module also explores dominant cultural images ofneutral computation by analyzing the operationalization of fairness and the assumed neutrality ofmathematics (i.e. positivism, mathwashing, algorithms/culture distinction) [33]. Finally,objectivity is contested through a feminist studies critique as a segue into discussing how the“objectivity” of technology plays a role in marginalizing the knowledges of oppressed peoples[34]–[36]. For example, students will be challenged to think about how familiar “value-free”constructions and practices of

Making refers to hands-ondesign, prototyping, and fabrication activities conducted by
performance in the course.The shift to remote learning triggered frustration on both students and instructors' sides. Theyalso faced unprecedented challenges with technology and access. Instructors acknowledgedstudent resilience and adaptability to the situation. The creative flexibility that instructors appliedto course delivery, project deliverables and assessment is a key tool that allowed them tomaintain the real-world experiential nature of BAE capstone programs.Introduction Biological and Agricultural Engineering (BAE), also called Agricultural and BiologicalEngineering or Biosystems Engineering, is a four-year, ABET-accredited undergraduateengineering program offered by over 32 universities in the United States.

Butmore than that, there is a lack of political will to invest in an avant-garde technology, when thereare so few successful projects around the world that demonstrate the cost benefit potential.

Through this study,the researchers identified seven distinct ways of experiencing human-centered design: 1. Technology Centered 2. Service 3. User as Information Source Input to Linear Process 4. Keeping the Users’ Needs in Mind 5. Understanding the Design in Context 6. Commitment to Involving Stakeholders to Understand Perspectives 7. Empathic
