Science and Engineering Fairs (Evaluation)Science and Engineering (S&E) fairs are a valuable educational activity that are believed toincrease students’ engagement and learning in science and engineering by using inquiry-focusedlearning, engaging students in authentic scientific practices and engineering design processes [1-3], and emphasizing creativity [4, 5]. Proponents also argue that S&E fairs enhance students’interest in science and science careers [6, 7] as well as engineering [2]. From the fair, studentsreport that they have learned more about the scientific process and engineering design, althoughthey may not all feel their attitudes towards STEM fields has improved [2, 8]. In this paper, wefocus on science attitudes, but because

section, student-customized rockets outperformedthe unmodified baseline vehicle.At the class’s conclusion, 79 students (out of 107 enrolled) completed a computerizedanonymous indirect survey to self-assess their attitudes about the course specifically andengineering in general as a result of the rocket project. Results were lackluster compared toexpectations based on similar s novel classroom lesson pedagogical studies previouslyconducted. Only 54.4% of students reported increased interest in the class over the semester.62.0% reported improved understanding of the rocket design process. 57.0% reported being ableto see interconnections between science, math, engineering, and technology as a result of thecourse.

In many cases, the mentor vis-à-vis role model andprotégé(s) will most likely never meet again, so first impressions often become ONLYimpressions.

Nevertheless, this study contributes to the teaching andintegration of CT in K-12 science and engineering education. From the perspectives of researchas well as practice, learning environments are important for fostering student CT practice asresults show that specific CT practices seem to relate to specific design and redesign tasks(Yang, Swanson, et al., 2018). Therefore, the design of a suitable environment is critical for theintegration and fostering CT in students. ReferencesAn, S. & Lee, Y. (2014).

additional recommendation was to make thecourse available “to students specializing in math and science across all education majors” andtailoring the coding assignments “from simplistic to intricate based on age/grade levels.”The two students were asked to reflect at the end of their course on their main takeaways fromthe course. The freshman student stated: “Although we may be ending our course work withprogramming here, we have a newfound interest in the subject that we will bring with us the restof our academic careers and beyond!” and the sophomore replied: “We both concluded thatalthough we may be more focused on the S and M in STEM, we now want to incorporate ourknowledge into the classroom.
