EiE materialsalso connect with literacy, social studies, and math. Each of the 20 EiE units reinforces oneelementary science topic, focuses on one field of engineering, and is set in a different country.The units each begin with an illustrated storybook in which a child confronts a problem.

The focusof the professional development (led by the researchers) was to orient teachers to engineeringand technology, uncover misconceptions, and provide an overview of the EiE curriculum alongwith an in-depth examination of one EiE unit they would implement in the Fall 2013. All fourteachers are employed in schools with large percentages of non-White students and studentsreceiving free or reduced lunch. We deliberately chose to work with schools with diverse studentpopulations with the goal of providing an opportunity to enact innovative, engineering-basedcurricula in hopes of challenging the status quo in a non-dominant demographic elementaryschool population.Each teacher implemented one EiE unit during

Robotics Training for Volunteer Mentors and K-12 Teachers1. Introduction The uses and effectiveness of technology that help shape children’s understanding ofscience and engineering were studied in literature as early as Papert’s seminal work1 onconstructivism. Papert showed that learning to use computers from an early age helps shape theway children think of, learn with, and understand computers and even other disciplines, such asmath. In the years following Papert’s work, many uses of engaging, modern technologies (e.g.,sensors, gaming, and robotics) were examined to develop K-12 students’ learning,understanding, and interest in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) subjects.2-11For example, use of LEGO

It was also recognized that it would be important tonot only understand the curriculum as written, but also understand how teachers enacted thecurriculum in their classrooms. We had reason to believe that differences in teacher training, andexperience and attitudes towards STEM would result in differing approaches to instruction, andthat direct observation of classrooms would be the best way to understand and document theseinstructional strategies. In the first six months the research team spent time observing classroominstructional practice using a structured but flexible observation protocol (see
