paper, we describe a novel afterschool engineering program targeted for middle schoolgrades. The afterschool program builds on our many years of experience in conductingengineering-based professional development for K-12 teachers. The program is founded on athree-pronged approach of: 1) engaging students in inquiry-based learning opportunities thatfeature motivation of engineering concepts with readily-available technology examples, andteam-based design projects with the National Academy of Engineering 21st Century GrandChallenges themes; 2) professional development and support for teachers to guide students inmeaningful engineering design activities; and 3) informing parents and caregivers of the fullrange of STEM college and career pathway
