For the past 5 years, Brian has taught various levels of high school physics, mathematics, applied technology, and robotics. Brian joined Sparkfun Electronics to help integrate ”tinkering,” electronics, and computational thinking into the classroom. One of his goals is to help teachers to de-mystify how household consumer electronics work. With a few simple tools, classrooms can excite and encourage students to explore the possibilities of microcontrollers, electronics, and physical computing.

Connections Collaborative (CSC²) initiated andsupported a summer research opportunity for underrepresented minorities within the College ofEngineering at California State University Chico. The aim was to recruit and retain students inscience, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) majors and facilitate their academicsuccess through hands on learning. Through an application process which considered studentinterests and backgrounds, awardees were paired with a faculty mentor to work on a researchproject over the summer. Students received a stipend and nominal equipment budget to purchasesmall items to support their research projects. This paper documents the experiences of oneinterdisciplinary team, comprised of students and faculty from the

Both emerging andlong-term humanitarian crises have created an endless demand for engineers who are willing andcapable of channeling their skills towards working to alleviate the suffering of those displacedfrom their homes [5]. While the demand only continues to grow, the supply of such individualsremains limited, in part due to the limited training opportunities to engage with these issues.Despite the opportunity and need
