The objective of the PSH’sIndustry Mentoring Program is to create a mutually beneficial connection between industrymentors and current STEM students at PSH1, especially with students near graduation. Typically,industry mentors present mentees with a range of options in terms of networking, jobopportunities, and professional development. Most the industry mentors were invited to NSFSTEM meeting sessions, where they gave short presentations, followed by engaging studentsthrough a dialogue and networking opportunities.

Teachers from other teams and the workshop leaders provided feedback onthe online platform about how well the proposed engineering design challenge would allowstudents to engage in engineering design practices. The teachers then revised their plans anduploaded new videos of their work for additional feedback. Both sets of videos were evaluatedand scored using the same engineering design challenge rubric that included criteria such as theopen-endedness of the problem, use of constraints and criteria, and the potential for

In addition, we noticed that the group activity component of the classesencouraged sociability and idea synthesis among peers. This CS community outreachprogram motivated us to extend the effort to teach science concepts using the Processinglanguage. This may potentially promote sociability, creativity, and empowerment inSTEM among middle school students.

We adopted a qualitative design to interviewentrepreneurship stakeholders from Chile, Colombia, Spain, the U.S. and the U.K. Theinterviewees were entrepreneurship instructors, researchers on entrepreneurship education, andleaders from startup accelerators and business incubators. From their perspectives, we shared adefinition of entrepreneurship, we explored the roles that engineers play in startups andentrepreneurial companies, and we identified critical competencies. Finally, we discuss theimplications of these
