Theydefine this concept as the realized capacity for an individual to purposefully and reflectively act(i.e., agency) on contexts containing “socially-produced, culturally-constructed activities” (i.e.,figured worlds, Holland et al., 1998, p. 40-41). As individuals iteratively interact with and withinthese figured worlds, they make meaning of themselves and form their identities.

college selection and math and science achievement.Moreover, socioeconomic status influences access to resources and experiences. Thus, somefamilies and parents must be made aware of STEM career opportunities. With this knowledge,parents can guide their children to enter a specific field, particularly in technology-related areas(Scheitle & Ecklund, 2017; Yerdelen et al., 2016). Also, religion and spirituality can influence anindividual’s likelihood of entering a STEM field. Religious people are more likely to bediscouraged from entering STEM careers, particularly physics- and biology-related fields(Scheitel & Ecklund, 2017).

The increased emphasis is reflected by theinclusion of CT in the Standards for Technological and Engineering Literacy (STEL) [2] and theNext Generation Science Standards (NGSS) [1]. These standards promote the integration of CTwithin authentic, design-based engineering and science contexts. While the benefits ofintegrating CT and engineering practices are clear, there is still much to learn about the methodsused to integrate CT within authentic engineering design challenges.
