To initiate this user-centered, empathetic design approach, students engage in anaccessibility simulation exercise on the first day of class designed to foster greater understandingof the everyday experiences of people with disabilities [21]. In this exercise, students break intogroups and engage in multiple simulation activities including: 1. Mobility impairment in which

Participants were asked to complete interviews and surveys at the end of the fall andspring semesters. The interviews and surveys had participants reflect on their experiences in theirmath, science, and engineering classes and involvement in engineering activities. Questions fromthe interviews were based on the previously discussed models of affect and engineering identity.This study uses data from the first two semesters.

This case recognizes thatSTEAM instruction is subjective, suggesting that the implementation of STEAM does not haveto be uniform but can (and should) be individualized to reflect the specific classroom ofinstruction [24]. A similar finding was identified in STEAM-focused schools with a highrepresentation of minority students [25]. Specifically, the authors describe the necessity forSTEAM curriculum to center “the cultural lives of minoritized students,” referencing a methodtermed Black Futurity STEAM [25]. As research on STEAM-certified schools is limited, futurestudies should explore new developments in the space, providing additional context on theimpact STEAM certification has on
