influence in steering students towardan interest in STEM [5].The breadth of outreach methods for K-12 students has included in-school programs, after-school programs, summer programs, on-campus programs, apprenticeships, and field trips [4, 11,12]. Seminal work spanning two decades has discovered that a key to students’ pursuit of STEMfields is to develop their interest at an early age. And that “themes such as the design of robots”provide effective strategies to develop this interest. Arduino microcontroller platforms, inparticular, have been shown to encourage “tinkering,” a broad term for making in which studentsapply their knowledge creatively and iteratively to a design task [13].

The curricula employ engineering challenges that engage andmotivate students to apply newly learned principles to an engineering design problem. Thecurriculum aims to support student autonomy and competence needs by giving studentsstructured opportunities to make choices in an engineering design project. The goal is thatintegrated STEM will motivate students with varying interests because of its variety and supportfor their sense of autonomy, choice, and competence. This study will investigate a pedagogicalstrategy that asks students to anticipate the learning they need to engage in to prepare forimplementing their engineering
