Thestudents create a jig and begin assembly after all pieces have been cut. Up to this point most ofthe work is done in one large group, but once boat assembly begins the students typically pick ateam and focus on just one hull. This fosters some friendly competition in class and tends to keepthe students focused and engaged as they strive to build the “better” boat. Figures 1 and 2 showthe students early in the assembly process, stitching the panels and frames of the boats.Homework in the class is a weekly reflection on the construction process.

The vast majority ofoutreach literature has historically addressed outreach in a top-down manner where academia isdelivering knowledge in a one-way exchange to recipients. Relatively recently, the research hasbeen reflecting the validity of the knowledge and expertise non-academic communities alreadyhold and that outreach should be a two-way exchange of knowledge.

Figured Worlds serves as a powerful frame for ourwork because it captures the complex influence of socially- and culturally-produced systems(i.e., figured worlds) on one’s capacity (i.e., agency) to purposefully and reflectively act withinthem. The ways we choose to – or choose not to – represent ourselves as we navigate figuredworlds, and the feedback we receive while interacting with them, serve as indicators ofidentification with social groups and their privileges [13]. For a system to be considered afigured world, it must have four characteristics: (1) historically developed through the works ofparticipants; (2) include social encounters in which participant positions matter; (3) sociallyorganized and reproduced; and (4) relate individuals to

Theydefine this concept as the realized capacity for an individual to purposefully and reflectively act(i.e., agency) on contexts containing “socially-produced, culturally-constructed activities” (i.e.,figured worlds, Holland et al., 1998, p. 40-41).

The increased emphasis is reflected by theinclusion of CT in the Standards for Technological and Engineering Literacy (STEL) [2] and theNext Generation Science Standards (NGSS) [1]. These standards promote the integration of CTwithin authentic, design-based engineering and science contexts. While the benefits ofintegrating CT and engineering practices are clear, there is still much to learn about the methodsused to integrate CT within authentic engineering design challenges.

Next year the mentors will explain to the apprentices how to comment theircode effectively for others to use.Upon reflection, it would have been helpful to have conflict resolution training for the mentors tobetter help the apprentice teams that were having interpersonal issues. Most issues were easy tohandle but there were some more complex issues. The mentors did have weekly meetings
