Another student found his motivation after talking to a professor about anapp that he wanted to write, following which the professor teamed up with him to help write theapp over the course of a class – the support from his professor and the realization that he hadsomething functioning at the end of class were very motivating for him. Regardless of who theirprimary role model was, nearly all participants reported having peers (friends and relatives –typically siblings, cousins, or their spouse) with whom they brainstormed business ideasregularly.Attitude - Mindset/Grit/Persistence – As mentioned above, most family members who inspiredentrepreneurial affinity did so through

practiced at developing objectives and outcomes. The project objectives andlearning outcomes for the summer immersion experience using the LLP methodology follow theprogram objectives and outcomes guidelines set by ABET [5]. Our program objectives andoutcomes are designed to support the overall goal of engaging students through innovativeengineering design and experiential learning.The specific objectives for the workshop are that students will be able to: 1. Conceptualize, analyze, design, implement, and evaluate engineering solutions; 2. Work effectively as a team member; 3. Communicate effectively through speaking, writing, and the use of presentation tools; 4. Adapt to technological changes and innovations to gain efficiencies in cost

submit a structured summary of a potential educationdevelopment project. A three-page structured summary describes the project in six half-pagesections: (i) project overview, (ii) potential adopters, (iii) development activities, (iv) broaderimpact plan, (v) propagation and evaluation plan, and (vi) project timeline. During the workshop,participants used information and exercises from the DSA book, the DSAAAI, and feedbackfrom peers and the project team to revise their summaries. Attendees provided feedback that thematerials and workshops helped them think about propagation differently and that theseexperiences resulted in positive feedback on grant proposals.Since both propagation and institutionalization share the goals of expanding adoption

Was it dynamic and engaging? Was there an easily identifiable impact, lesson or takeaway? Did the presenter adhere to the time limit? (On a scale of 1 to 5, with 5 being the best)2.   What is the most important takeaway you learned from this presentation? (Open response)3.   Rate how important you think the key lesson identified above is to our students for their future. (1 = not important; 5 = very important) 4.   Please enter any other specific feedback for the presenter here: (Open

In addition, an Advisory Board, consisting of a larger, diverse group of faculty andstudents who have participated in a previous MIH project, provides input on funding for eachproject and suggests professors to advise each project.Each quarter, an open forum is held for students to discuss the details of the projects that areavailable for the following quarter. In addition, a guest speaker is invited to help inspire thestudents by discussing the importance of helping others. After the open forum, students fill out anapplication form in which they rank their top project choices and write a paragraph stating thereasons they are motivated to work on the project. Faculty members on the advisory board rankthe students using these paragraphs

different from many other invention competitions in that teamwork isstrongly encouraged and the teacher is a vital part of facilitating the process. When studentsparticipate in the InVenture Challenge, they do not work alone at home; rather, they arecollaborating with up to two other student peers and their teacher is guiding them through anengineering design process. As a result, the InVenture Challenge is inclusive and diverse—abouthalf of K-12 participants are female and nearly 40% are underrepresented minorities.The contributions of this paper are two-fold. First, a model is provided for a K-12 innovationprogram housed at a university that is aimed at empowering underrepresented groups in STEMdisciplines by looking further down the pipeline
