From middle schools in NewYork City (NYC), 23 teachers were recruited and engaged to learn and practice the design,development, and implementation of robotics-based STEM lessons for classroom usage. The threeweeks long eight-hours per day PD program, conducted at the NYU Tandon School ofEngineering, was led by engineering and education faculty who mentored graduate students andpostdoctoral researchers to: develop robotics-based STEM lessons, conduct the PD sessions, andsupport varied instructional and feedback activities during the PD. The PD program included anarray of foundational learning theories, robotics fundamentals, and robotics-based math andscience lessons. Each morning and afternoon session included a short formal

Pickering-Reyna [9] also showed thatstudents who participate in summer bridge programs are more likely to be retained in their major.Tomasko et al.

To provide clarity for our project, we identified two attributes we feel uniquelydefine high-quality middle/high school engineering practice instruction: 1) using a formalengineering design process and 2) conveying the complexity and interconnectivity associatedwith engineering practice. While there are variations, the formal engineering design processrecommended for use in middle/high schools is proposed by Hynes et al, and it contains thefollowing steps: 1) Identify the problem, 2) Research the problem, 3) Develop possible solutions,4) Down-Select the

The research onparents’ roles in facilitating children’s engagement in other skill sets and knowledge basesrelated to engineering, such as computational thinking (CT), is even more limited.
