-focusedengineering summer camp. Although it is different from most other professional learningexperiences that are available to teachers, having the teachers participate in authentic engineeringexperiences with their students and giving them time to reflect on these experiences during theworkshops, is clearly beneficial to the teachers. With the changes that are being made to the nextGEAR UP Engineering Summer camp, it is expected that the benefits of having the professionallearning experience as a part of the camp will continue and that there will be additional benefitsas a result of the improvements made to the professional learning experience.

lack of participants understanding other points of view and a lack ofconnectedness with other participants. In prior years, this lack of connection led to studentsstruggling with at least two components of the engineering design process: 1. students werereluctant to collaborate with their peers, as they were often “stuck” on using their own ideas and2. students had difficulty defining the purpose for their designs, or in other words, difficultyexplaining the problem(s) they were trying to solve [13]. These findings were a springboard forconsidering how to effectively integrate empathy and engineering as the thread which weaves theprogram together. Program designers intentionally wove empathy connections with people’sreal-life stories into the

Or in a way like, like in like the 50’s or 60’s or whatever. It was like in history like the women were the ones that just like stayed home and like the men were the ones out working like my, all my like my grandparents were engineers like my mom's cousins were engineers.
