They had the opportunity to teach these lessons to a set of students thatparticipated in the last week of the summer workshops. Researchers challenged the teachers totry the new AI tools in their classrooms and document the impact they noticed, if any. The casestudies presented offer a glimpse of each teacher unique experience.

In our testing, we had a racially diverse participantgroup and noted no differences in success rates for participants with different skin tones.However, given the recent work demonstrating racial bias in facial recognition software [25], alarge-scale study and careful evaluation must ensure that this activity does not perpetuate racialbias observed in technology. Lastly, all participants in this work were able-bodied, with fivefingers on their right hand.

In what follows, I describe aqualitative study of 21 upper elementary student design teams’ design failure experiences as theyengaged in two Engineering is Elementary (EiE) units of instruction. I also explore how theiropportunities to learn from design failure were supported or may have been inhibited.Framework: Learning from FailureThis study is framed on the idea that design failure experiences can serve as opportunities todeepen learning. When positioned as a learning experience, design failure signals the need tochange course—to learn how to alter the technology being designed to better

acquired.The implementation of instruction through mixed media, synchronous and asynchronous (blended),provides a solution to one of the biggest problems of education in rural areas: access to teachers withthe necessary knowledge (Ghimire, 2022) [6]. Next, the project will develop a Project Based Learning(PBL) unit to ensure the involvement and motivation of the participants. This PBL unit will include thecontents and skills mentioned above. The PBL unit will include the STEM (Science, Technology,Engineering and Mathematics) approach. Many sources agree that PBL offers the possibility of bringingclassroom activities closer to the students' experiences (both in-person and remote). This activitypromotes the student's changes and the production of

This paper presents program details and recentevaluation results.IntroductionThe number of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) jobs in the UnitedStates is growing faster than ever. According to the Bureau of Labor statistics, while totalemployment is projected to increase by 2.8% from 2022 to 2032, STEM jobs are expected togrow 10.8% during the same period [1]. This translates into more than one million new STEMjobs in the American labor market over the next 10 years.

pursue science, technology, engineering, and mathematics(STEM) careers as early as middle school, suggesting that nurturing STEM interest inelementary and middle (primary) school is a key factor in attracting youth to engineering. Goalsof racial equity and attracting youth into engineering have birthed the proliferation of manyinformal STEM education (ISE) programs (e.g., out-of-school programs, summer camps, etc.).Though research suggests that ISE increases participants’ STEM interest, it is unclear whetherISE is successful in sparking STEM interest in previously uninterested youth. This gap existspartly because little is known about the initial STEM interest of ISE participants.Using a survey research design, we addressed this gap by studying
