Education in the U.S. does not emphasizethe clean energy or environmentally friendly behavior, so many students do not see these jobs asa potential career path or even know they exist.Education plays a critical role in helping the United Nations reach its Sustainable DevelopmentGoals (SDGs) [2]. Environmental education begins with giving children access and opportunitiesto build a relationship with nature, learn about environmental issues and the need for cleanenergy, develop important skills for the clean energy workforce, and inform them of the jobs andcareer paths in clean energy

As a team we planned a three day game design workshop for middle school students that: ● fosters interest in computer science careers by exposing students to basic programming concepts; ● encourages the development of ethical decision-making capacities by designing games that address contemporary challenges in adolescents’ lives; and ● harnesses the motivational affordances of games to encourage students to engage in interest driven learning.Game Jam workshops are potentially well suited to achieving the goals we note above because of their open-ended nature [3]. Game jams build on the affordances of games, offering youth a playful and agenticperspective on design and problem solving, while exposing them to basic

indicates that engineering leaders and social science andhumanities scholars can benefit from dialogues like this one. Engineering leaders grapple withethical quandaries at all stages of their career: depending on their level of authority andresponsibility, they may be willing to engage differently with ethical concepts and theimplications of ethical decision-making. Social scientists and humanities scholars can learndirectly from the lived experience of engineers and project managers and better understand therationale for their decisions when in direct conversation. The interest in engaging on thesetopics, and deeper study on the ways in which practicing engineers engage on these topics, maybe a valuable point of study for future engineering

. “Engaging future engineers is a central topic in everydayconversations on engineering education... It is imperative that the community reflects onprogress and sets a more effective path for the future.” [4] A second motivation was to provide an opportunity for students to begin building self-starting skills earlier in their academic career. The owner of DCOF was highly supportive ofallowing the activities and engagements to be student-led. This gave students the independenceto set their own activity structure and to make decisions in deciding their goals and needs inaccomplishing tasks.

She wasn’tinterested in pursuing a career in the technical-focused engineering field, but after seeing theconnections between engineering and social justice, she had a change of heart and wasreconsidering that decision: I also learned that engineering can involve social justice issues as well. Before, I did not think I would end up pursuing any sort of career in engineering because I never enjoyed the technical aspects of what was previously required.

Though service was not indicated as his primary reason forchoosing engineering, it seems that S17 saw the benefits of service through engineering, and thisheavily impacted his college choice. In contrast, S34 clearly stated his desire to “work on stuffthat’s gonna help people” as his reasoning for choosing engineering as a career path. He alsomentioned experiences with building things and a working knowledge of engineering from themilitary as influential as well.According to two studies, very few engineering students choose the major to help society or forsocial good at 3.3% (n=390) and 14.4% (n=97) respectively [21
