Starbase2.0. The paradigm proposes a multi-tier approach that looks at different phases oflife, from late elementary and middle school to adult, working women engineers.Introduction and Background:By talking with professional women engineers, one starts to recognize the wide variety of factorsthat contributed to their success. A common thread that ties most of the group together is thefact that they had to overcome barriers and stereotypes from a very early age. Another reason forchoosing a career in engineering is the influence of a mentor or other adult that encouraged themto take part in a project or class that had components of engineering. By being exposed tosituations and tasks that challenged them and fit with their personalities and interests

-ended LEGO design projectwas based on the educational methodology of constructionism[6]. Papert describes thiseducational methodology based on the theory of constructivism. Piaget pioneered research in thetheory of constructivism and described the process a learner goes through to acquire knowledgeas one where he or she actively constructs knowledge. Papert took this idea a step further andstated that the construction of knowledge is enhanced when the learner actively constructs a real-world or virtual-world (in the case of computer programming) artifact. The hands-on, project-based nature of constructionist learning activities has proven beneficial to students learning andattitudes[2, 7-11].Neither constructionism nor constructivism defines a

only one idea; and enact design as a sequence of steps in their searchfor a solution. Our review of the literature indicates a wide range in students’ abilities toengage in engineering: in some instances, students demonstrate an “uncannycompetence” to resolve ambiguities and “exploit the open-ended situations in aproductive way,” (Roth, 1995, p. 378), while at others, they “can be unaware or unwaryof the potential for cascading complexity” (Crismond & Adams, 2012, p. 747).Our research on the Novel Engineering project reflects similar contrasts in studentengagement11, 23. For example, we have found that some students may consider multipledimensions of the design situation and develop optimal solutions for their clients17, whileothers

However, in the study by Bell, et al., the students were found to havechanged their ideas of science and scientific inquiry very little between the beginning and end ofthe program.

It is likely that once this occurs, moreyoung people might consider pursuing careers in engineering. In particular, it is thought suchcareers might especially appeal to females and others who have not been well-represented intraditional engineering fields. A report by the Extraordinary Women Engineers Project foundthat “High school girls believe engineering is for people who love both math and science.
