The partnership engaged youth in open-ended invention projects with aidsspecifically designed to support English language learners. The researchers found evidence thatthe invention projects helped youth understand science concepts, retain content knowledge,increased excitement for what they were inventing, and increased science literacy. As waspreviously noted, NGSS Science and Engineering Practices are linguistically demanding of allstudents; therefore, IvE may be a useful strategy to promote the literacy skills of all youth(Barnett et al., 2019; NGSS, 2013).

Examples of planned activities include:• leveraging both university and college resources to develop a “best practices” document for avoiding subtle bias, especially for faculty search committees• surveying other departments and colleges for existing resources on effective mentoring, including examining the possibility of mentoring associate professors.

Within the graduate course, students participate in a micro-course, aninnovative adaptation of the traditional micro-teaching experience.

Themodules include engineering design activities and are aligned with district and state standards forscience and mathematics.

First of all, the student projects provided a means ofcompleting pre-competitive research into alternative designs for specific conditions.
