feedback fromhigh school students who are the participants in educational outreach is the Engineering Projectsin Community Service learning (EPICS) Program at Purdue University, which began as anundergraduate program but has been implemented successfully in high schools for over a decade[22]. In contrast to our work presented here, EPICS is a large-scale program involving longer-scale projects such as design teams. This contrasts with our work in that toy adaptation can beconducted in one session as a 1.5 or 2 hour activity without the required resources, infrastructure,and partnerships needed to facilitate high school design team initiatives, making toy adaptation amore feasible addition to existing or smaller-scale outreach efforts.Ultimately
