As previously noted, the results focus on the latest teacher feedbackfrom 2023-24, offering the most current insights.CurriculumFig. 1 shows curriculum rating by the teachers. With the v5.0 in 2024 the largest percentage ofteachers rated the curriculum as “very good” (43.3% in 2024, 31.7% in 2023, and 38.2% in 2022).That same year the percentage of teachers who rated the curriculum “excellent” dropped slightlybut both 2024 and 2023 were significantly higher than 2022’s rating (33.3% in 2024 vs. 34.1% in2023 vs. 20.6% in 2022).

marginalizedcommunities. Through our four-year collaboration, we have demonstrated how creative, hands-on activities incorporating art and design can expand young students' perceptions of engineeringand help them envision themselves as future engineers. By leveraging the enthusiasm andexpertise of university faculty, undergraduate mentors, and elementary school teachers, we havedeveloped sustainable programming that integrates into the elementary classroom while inspiringboth students and educators alike. Through this relationship, we have documented key pragmaticlessons to help bring two educational communities together.References1. A. Master, S. Cheryan, A. Moscatelli, & A. N.

-grade classes at two different schools in a small urban city in the Northeast United States,which we call Pepperville. Mr. J taught the course at school A and Mr. S taught the curriculum atSchool B. Mr. J and Mr. S, both white male teachers, have students from ethnically andlinguistically diverse backgrounds. Most of the students spoke English, and many spoke,understood, or were learning another language. At the end of the curriculum, learners made avideo journalism artifact for specific audiences about climate tech in Pepperville. Both siteshosted a screening day to view the students’ final journalism artifacts, which, for the Spring 2024implementation,were journalism videos. This paper focuses on data from two of Mr. J’s classes.In our

This is especially critical in rural settings,where access to engineering education or career development opportunities may be limited. Toaddress this, the mixed methods study implemented a 3D printing experience centered on engagingstudents in hands-on making and tinkering activities. The quantitative component employed adesign one-group pre- and post-test design using a modified version of Mamaril et al.’s (2016)engineering self-efficacy survey to assess students’ self-efficacy levels before and after theirparticipation in the 3D printing activities.

five iSTEM rubrics andfive edTPA rubrics to assess the quality and effectiveness of our lessons. The rubrics included:iSTEM rubrics (1. STEM Literacy, 2. 21st Century, 3. STEM Workforce Readiness, 4. STEMInterests, Engagement, and Identity, 5. Ability to Make STEM Connections, edTPA rubrics (6.Learning Environment, 7. Engaging Students in Learning, 8. Deepening Student Learning, 9.Subject-Specific Pedagogy: The Work Artifact(s), 10. Analyzing Teaching Effectiveness).During the practice lesson delivery, we video-recorded ourselves for comprehensive self andpeer evaluations. The evaluation template, shown in Table 2, consisted of fixed prompts (boldand italicized) to which we provided structured responses (plain text). Table 2
