integrates the engineeringsciences with the biomedical science and clinical practices.FEMME 9: Computer Coding: - designed to provide post-ninth grade girls with anintroduction to computer coding and computer engineering.Continued participation in FEMME allows girls to form relationships and feel they are part of acommunity. Research on girls in engineering has found that social support of this type isimportant if they are to persist [37, 91]. Through integrated STEM curriculum that focuses onapplications of engineering, as recommended in the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS)[92], girls learn about the importance of engineering and how it relates to everyday life. The girlsalso visit research laboratories and manufacturing facilities where

for youth in the form of internships at ayouth-staffed 3D print shop. The print shop opened in early 2017 as a “living laboratory” toprovide technical jobs to youth who completed Maker Foundations and are DHF Members. Theprint shop employs youth who are eligible to work through a state government minor workpermit and have completed the 14-week Maker Foundations program. Since opening, the printshop has employed 8 youth (4 female, 5 underrepresented minorities in STEM) between the agesof 15-18. The print shop offers 3D printing, 3D scanning, and 3D modeling services to clients.Six months after opening, the print shop youth employees have over 60 jobs and produced over4,000 objects. Example projects that youth completed include developing

(SSI) have received increased attention from many science andengineering educators, as it provides a meaningful learning opportunity to improve students'argumentation skills [4] - [7]. In the SSI environment, students can formulate positions, negotiatediverse ideas, and make decisions about important issues directly related to their everyday life [8].The problems in SSI contexts are “more open-ended, debatable, complex, or ill-structured” [9,p.140] than the general scientific hypothesis in the laboratory. In this kind of environment, studentsare required to apply their epistemic understanding of argument (i.e., what counts as good evidence,what counts as a good claim) to debate, reach a consensus, or make decisions [10] - [12].Sadler [6
