, all four teams ordered the parts and started working onthe projects in the second and third weeks of July. Since the MTSU campus was closed and theCOVID-19 cases surged in the summer, the students collaborated remotely using slack, Zoom,text messages, Discord, etc. Because the project involved writing code, some students also set upGitHub repositories in order to collaborate and perform version control. The faculty mentorshelped the students along the way by holding regularly status meetings and answering theirquestions.4.

Furthermore, several studiesfound that collaboration improves students’ performance by developing higher order-thinkingwhen students discuss their ideas in the group (Chung, 1998; S. D. Johnson & Chung, 1999;Mergendoller, Bellisimo, & Maxwell, 2000). Students will more engaged in learning when theyfeel they are an accepted group member (Willms, 2003). For example, girls have positiveperceptions about team processes when they are in a group comprised of other girls. As shown inprior research on SEEK, girls felt less positive about their team processes and were less engagedwhen they were in a co-ed team (Beauchamp, Edwards, Knight, & Lee, 2019).

engineering comprise one thread of currentresearch. Originating from Mead and Metraux’s 1957 study of high school student images ofscientists [10], more recent research has focused on comparing K-12 student drawings ofscientists and engineers [11-14].The Fralick et al.’s 2009 [13] study is of interest to our work in progress because it developed arobust taxonomy for comparing drawings of scientists (DAS) and engineers (DAE) by middleschool level students (see Appendix A). They developed three general categories: species;objects; and inferred actions. We employ the Fralick et al. taxonomy to identify intersectionsbetween the descriptions of engineers and engineering we collected from our citizen scienceparticipants and images produce by K-12
