Over85% of participating teachers reported using AIR materials to some extent in their classroom,with 45% reporting the use of 50% or more of the provided AIR materials.

However, a persistent issue within the engineering discipline is theinsufficient number of students, particularly from underrepresented groups, who express interestin pursuing engineering as both a college major and a career path [3]. This under-enrollmentphenomenon underscores the necessity of cultivating STEM interest at an early stage,particularly during K-12 education.Research underscores the pivotal role of middle school as a critical juncture where students'interests

The result was the Next Generation Science Standards(NGSS) [8], integrating engineering across K-12 science standards, and by 2015, most statescience standards included engineering in some capacity [9].
