. This is a “hard work” project that entails a diligentreconnecting, concept by concept, of foundational STEM ideas as they are used and embedded in theengineering curriculum. The reconnection is scaffolded by the multimedia and sound pedagogy, but it iscarried out by the students themselves. The model we present blends critical and established findings inbrain and learning science with multimedia, shared screen feedback, and other digital tools tosignificantly alter what can be called the attention intensity of the course. Students are more engagedboth in and out of class time with course material, and instructors can direct attention to the particulars ofeach student’s unique concept-building journey.

As a means of checks and balances, this tool’s purported usebecame a way to navigate through qualitative research in a manner that acknowledged therelationship between the researcher as an instrument and the processing of information over thecourse of research projects [8]. This navigation can be conceptualized in practices such as fieldtexts and reflections before, after, and during interaction with research participants as a means toshow proof of consideration of positionality, specifically for communities of color [9].

Along these lines, the ethnographic study of anundergraduate programming course conducted by Secules et al. shows the combined impact of several“mundane and seemingly innocuous” aspects of the course, such as the seating arrangement in lecture andthe status hierarchy when an experienced student was paired with an inexperienced student for a group lab[11]. These aspects of the course all combined to create a culture that projected the implicit message thatthe focus of the study--a female student from a vocational high school--could not succeed in engineering.Lastly, studies have shown that students’ performance in CS is influenced by their learning strategies intheir introductory CS course, which are
