per fiscal year depending on their grant contribution. Typically, this funding alignswith the company’s philanthropic mission or community outreach goals, and also provides amechanism for employee volunteerism. Industry partners are highlighted throughout the eventand are often guest speakers. They have the option to invite engineers and other STEMprofessionals to interact with the students, serve as panelists for the Q&A session, and model theSTEM activity alongside the students. Everyone supporting the event goes through intensivevolunteer training where they learn their roles and responsibilities, receive access to the kitguides, and learn the science behind the STEM kit. This allows volunteers to better instruct thestudent

system to signfamilies up and their main branch for distribution of kits. Our team responded to all participantinquiries, provided weekly online Q&A sessions, and replenished used materials in the kits. Weoffered four separate kits to families: Roller Coaster, Squishy Circuits, Trendy Tennies, andWatercolor Bots. Registration was opened for each kit individually and was capped at 35families per kit. Families checked out the kits and completed them at home.This study focuses on the Watercolor Bot kit. Each kit contained a set of instructions (child), afacilitation guide (caregivers), video links that provided more information and examples, avariety of materials (e.g., Q-tips, cotton balls), two lithium coin cell batteries, and two

initially hesitant to engage with us on this project due to the logistics of kitcirculation and concerns with how kits would fit within their existing structure of their summerreading program. To allay the library’s concerns, we worked out a plan to utilize their existingactivity registration system to sign families up and their main branch for distribution. Our teamresponded to all email inquiries from the participants, provided weekly online Q&A sessions,and restocked used materials in kits. The library maintained control over registration andcommunication with families, including all personal identifying information. Our library partnersnoted that they appreciated that we worked within their parameters of lead time for planning ofthe summer

to discuss their researchareas with clear application to the K-8 classroom. As with the teachers, we met with theresearchers a week prior to the workshop and asked them to prepare an 8 minuteteacher-practice-friendly presentation about some of their research that would directly apply toclassrooms. The structure of this session was as follows: • 8 minutes for researcher presentation • 5 minutes of table talk within small groups in the audience • 5 minutes Q& A between the audience and researcher (influenced by the table talk)The researchers’ topics included negative impacts of gender stereotypes in K-8 CS education,scaffolding CS curriculum for K-8 students, and strategies to include students with disabilities inK-8 CS
