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. Specifically, we plan to use the Processingprogramming language to facilitate learning of biological and chemical concepts, sincesuch concepts can be difficult for students to visualize from a textbook.

However, within the college of engineering very little formal service learning wasbeing conducted at the time.

The idea was to guide the teachers inthe use of tools and techniques that could be successfully utilized to engage the students inSTEM related topics and to also learn from them in order to develop best practices.Having a class of middle schoolers complete activities in the classroom or lab would requiremore adult to student interaction when conducting some of the planned experiments, so a reliablepool of volunteers was needed.

There were several reasons for this including a leadershiptransition at the school, lags in procurement and challenges in communication. Toovercome this hurdle, we ‘dusted off’ some older robotics materials from the HS closet towork with throughout the academic year. For the UMD curriculum, the program model was tested. At the service site, 1-2UMD students worked with a team of 3-4 HS students to design, build and program arobot. The course met once per week on Thursdays from 3:30 – 4:45 at the end of theschool day.

This is germane in the context of conservation because participants will not changetheir environmental conservation behaviors if they do not believe their actions will haveconsequences. The actual consequences of an action are less important than an actor’s personalinterpretation of those consequences when it comes to acting [2].It follows, then, that with proper “River Magic” [5], a river guide could employ
