Program deliverables included a research poster and twoSTEM lesson plans for their classroom – one with indigenous culture embedded into STEMconcepts, and the other based their university research. Additionally, participants received $1500toward classroom supplies to support the RET lesson plans. Outcomes include increased teacherconfidence in performing research, improved laboratory skills, and greater understanding ofSTEM pedagogical development specifically geared toward Native American

Since it is often difficult toinfuse Making into students’ schedules, this frequently occurs in after-school programs.Unfortunately, not all youth are able to participate in after-school activities due to financialpressures and may instead take jobs in non-technical fields such as food service or retail [15].These non-technical jobs take time away from making, designing, and tinkering, which can leavethem behind their peers who are honing skills for technical career paths.We are working to create a living laboratory “print shop” at the Digital Harbor Foundation(DHF) Tech Center in downtown Baltimore to study the impact of Maker employment with innercity youth.
