Therefore, no pre-tests or post-testswere given or deemed necessary. Hence, only a qualitative study was done of the students’ experiencesin the workshop. This introduction to a STEM field that they may not have experienced previouslywould hopefully increase their interest in considering a STEM career in the future.[4]The participants were surveyed before and after the workshop. Prior to this workshop, 75% ofthe students had little or no programming experience and only 4 students had experience with atext-based programming language. Over 80% of the

paper describes our origins and approach, andsummarizes some of our progress and challenges to date.IntroductionThere is increasing demand for higher education to produce graduates who are job- or career-ready 1,2. For example, most technical companies expect that new hires will be able to tacklecomplex multidisciplinary problems, and the ability to innovate is now an “integrative meta-attribute” desired in all engineering graduates 3. Pulling together disparate fields in innovativeways is now an expectation. A series of reports from the National Academies, e.g., “Educatingthe Engineer of 2020” 4 and “Rising Above the Gathering Storm” 5 emphasize the need forlifelong learning that bridges multiple disciplines.

is significantly different. For these youngest elementary school students, the focus is not on career education so much as it is toward problem solving, creativity, working with others--in point of fact--engineering habits of mind [7]. Multiple approaches to engineering curricula for younger students have emerged in the last ten years [7] [8] [9] [10] Some lean on robotics, some on LEGO, but two in particular place their engineering problems in the context of stories. EIE [8] and Novel Engineering [10] use story books (custom or trade) to provide context for the youngest of engineering investigators. This literacy-based approach [11] provided inspiration for the design of activities for the pre-K- second grade students at this engineering
