Thispaper details the theoretical foundations of the socially transformative framework and providesexamples of its pedagogical translations to guide pedagogy practices.IntroductionEngineering, as commonly understood, is the practical application of scientific and mathematicalprinciples [1], the creation of new products [2], and the procedures

. Engineering solutions candisproportionately impact—benefit or harm—certain populations. This differential impact cutsalong class and race lines, raising important ethical questions for engineers as they address thecriteria and constraints of stakeholders. As youth engage with engineering activities andcurricula, it is important that they consider these elements. The emergent field of engineering forsocial justice urges that decision-making related to engineering designs and solutions considertechnical, social, environmental, and ethical contexts (Claris & Riley, 2003; Leydens & Lucena,2018; Lucena, 2013; Nieusma & Riley, 2010; Riley, 2008). Situating engineering in suchcontexts can motivate learners and provide perspectives on the nature

But some topics are difficult to teach like societal implications of AI toolsand the ethics in AI. Thus, we recognize the following challenges with AI education at the highschool level: 1. Technical topics are often skipped entirely, briefly mentioned, or taught unsuccessfully in a passive learning style. 2. AI projects are often limited to image classification tasks or use game-fied interfaces. Natural language processing tasks like sentiment analysis from text

of AI meant they had to do "less thinking," which put bounds on their creativity and original brainstorming.4. Ethics: A couple of responses touched on the ethics of using AI for assignments. They noted that while it is possible to use AI for all work, it is the human's responsibility not to delegate everything to AI.5. Context: The responses agreed that AI was more suitable for some contexts than others. For example, AI is more suited for quick brainstorming and "short-term" projects than long-term ones. Additionally, AI is better at providing feedback than generating novel ideas. One student noted, "AI's main strength is saving time, not generating amazing ideas."Overall, most students responded that they would use AI in

Prior to the start of each lesson, students were promptedwith questions pertaining to the previous lesson to help students recall key topics. Throughout eachlesson, students engaged in various knowledge checks to ascertain whether they grasped ideas presentedduring instruction. Those knowledge checks included the following: ● Thought provoking prompts embedded at pivotal points in the lesson ● Online flashcards to aid in the retention of information ● Fun and interactive quizzes and polls to assess comprehension ● Exit tickets to ensure key points
