Every effort was made to ensure thatthe speaker diversity reflected that of the REU students, so that students could envisionthemselves taking the speakers’ paths. Further student-faculty interaction was provided throughweekly faculty research seminars. Each week, one faculty member presented brief vignettes oftheir research interests to the group, enabling students to learn of other imaging related researchbeyond their own projects.In addition to the program-related activities, students participated in several University-wideenrichment events. These activities included a weekly brown-bag seminar series on topics suchas Ethics, GRE preparation, Getting into Graduate School, and Abstract Writing

model development requires students tocommunicate their ideas and continue to evolve their solutions to reflect their evolving ideasconcerning the mathematical situation. The model refinement process involves moving from aninitially chaotic model to a more developed model through an iterative process. Importantly,while these activities are to an extent open-ended, they are not the type of open-ended problemwhere any solution is acceptable; there are criteria built into the problem that make somesolutions better than others, aligning with the self-assessment principle (see below).12 In thiscourse, the iterative process involves three major submissions with feedback from both peers andinstructors.16

ThePittsburgh Children's Museum has created Makeshop, a maker space reflecting 7 specificlearning practices, for example. Research has shown Maker spaces as sources ofmultidisciplinary learning, a blending of communities of practice with formal learning, andfinally that the depth of learning is in the making. While the research points to the values ofMaking in general, and specifically making in museum maker spaces, there seems to be littleresearch on family making, and how museums can encourage family making.

political identity, social welfare, and perspectives ofdiversity. In reflecting on the personal impact of recent national events and how politicaldiscussions have or have not been integrated into their STEM courses, two themes emerged: 1)political awareness and 2) future-self impact. Findings revealed that first year engineeringstudents recognized the personal and social impacts current national events imposed on theirfriends, family, and society. However, students did not sense the significance of politicaldiscourse concerning the social impact and ethical practice of engineering. Our research showsthat limiting political discourse in the classroom and depoliticizing engineering spacescontributed to students dissociating the relevance of political

For instance, students were able to provide important justifications when prompted todiscuss energy sources with an advocate of a particular approach, such as “You have to factor inthe cost, the power it supplies, and the effectiveness over X amount of years.” “The best way toselect an energy source is to focus on being environmentally friendly first. Then find the mostcost effective that will produce enough energy for your needs.” Students also commented on themost important things they learned through the game such as “The most important thing that Ilearned was to be environmentally friendly rather than being the most cost and energy
