). For overthree decades, many researchers conducted various conceptualization studies on PCK (Grossman1990; Cochran et al., 1993; Loughran et al., 2012; Van Driel et al., 1998; Gess-Newsome 1999;Magnusson et al., 1999; Hashweh, 2005; Abell, 2008; Park and Oliver, 2008; Kind, 2009). Amongthese models, Magnusson et al. (1999)’s PCK model has been widely used in pre-service and in-service teacher education. In these prior efforts, most of the studies have argued for threeknowledge domains: content (subject) knowledge, pedagogical knowledge, and contextualknowledge were the basic domains affected by teachers’ PCK (Abell, 2008; Cochran et al., 1993;Gess-Newsome, 1999; Grossman, 1990). In our approach, we identified four knowledge domains by

Radunzel et al.’s recent study [7, p. 1] found that“students with both expressed and measured interest in STEM were more likely to persist andcomplete a STEM degree than those with either expressed or measured interest only, as well asthose with no interest in STEM.” Furthermore, research is investigating the troubling phenomenaof extended time to finish college and higher drop-out rates for STEM programs as compared toothers [e.g., 8].STEM by the numbersPines [9] writes that “one of the greatest and most enduring strengths of the United States hasbeen its ability to attract global talent in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics(STEM) to bolster its economic and technological competitiveness

students who took the survey were also satisfied with the program as indicatedby the 77% of survey respondents who agreed or strongly agreed that they would apply to be inthe ImageSTEAM program again. More than half of the students agreed or strongly agreed theywould recommend someone like them to attend the ImageSTEAM program (62%).AI workshops, in this paper, are viewed as problem-solving events using critical thinking toexplore ways and methods to improve learning using available tools. A comprehensive paperwill be made, when the third and final workshop is made in summer 2023.

learn to see individualstructures or features, and to ask what function that structure or feature accomplishes and whythat is important to the organism. When students are practiced in this, they “learn to see theworld through new eyes” – the world around them is no longer part of the background of theirlives, but rather is now filled with potential solutions to challenging design problems [16].Curriculum BID specific ActivitiesSeveral standard lessons and activities were used for teaching engineering, brainstorming forideas, and as empathy building exercises for problem description.

analysis to analyze the interviews and video transcripts since it allows for asystematic way of seeing and processing qualitative data [38]. We followed Braun and Clarke[38]’s six-phase method for thematic analysis, which encompassed familiarizing yourself withdata, generating initial codes, searching for themes, reviewing, defining, and naming the themes,and creating the report. First, statements in the interview were coded with descriptive labelsthrough emergent coding, and these codes were categorized into themes. Constant comparison,first within each interview and then within each group (i.e., children as a group and parents as agroup), was used to continually sort the data until a robust set of themes explaining the data wasdeveloped for each
, girls were found to draw male scientists three times more often than female scientists[31]. Similar trends were found in Capobianco et al.’s [23] study. About 40% of the engineersthat first grade girls drew were female and about 30% were male, but when examining thedrawings of fifth grade girls, just under 60% drew male engineers and about 30% drew femaleengineers. Given the age of the participants, previous research suggests it is likely that theywould draw male engineers.The study took place in the context of a Girl Scout troop environment. This may have influenced theparticipants’ conception of engineers for several reasons. First, the national Girl Scout organizationrecently began a significant focus on STEM opportunities within the
