They must engage in expansive thinking, which entails breaking freefrom “status quo narratives and attend[ing] to science and technology from a human-centered,systems-level perspective” (Radoff et al, 2022, p. 2). This breaking free requires engineeringstudents to rethink what socio-political and economic values and perspectives are being includedin engineering from the standpoint of social justice and equity. For students, opportunities toquestion dominant narratives and values prevalent in engineering design can prompt acutefeelings of uncertainty around the process and outcomes of engineering work (Baillie &Armstrong, 2013).In our

Several pro-Makerspace actors purport that having experiences in such open-ended project-based settings canencourage engagement with engineering. However, as we know from prior work in the area,simply providing access to technology-rich spaces does not allow underserved youth to feelownership and belonging in both makerspaces and engineering environments. Additionally,formal and informal engineering education experiences do not center on preventing harm tocommunities and the environment in engineering work. Not only do future generations ofengineers need to reduce the harm caused by engineering and technology proactively, but harmreduction
