Example of WGG Activity FrameworkAs Learning Facilitators began the delivery of an activity, they often described it as a balancingact to allow youth to find their own solutions without providing too much direction or sharingwhat the Learning Facilitator considered a “correct” answer. However, WGG focuses onprocess. The types of engineering design solutions that WGG introduces do not have a uniquecorrect answer. Successful facilitation involved providing feedback and encouragement whileallowing for some youth frustration. This process was critical for engaging youth and typicallyled to youth reporting they felt proud of their design. The

goalsThe Introduction to Engineering course at Dunwoody College of Technology is required for firstsemester Electrical, Mechanical, and Software engineering students. The intent of the course is toexpose students to real engineering work with the expectation that students will determinewhether engineering is right for them and which discipline is the right fit for them to pursue. Oneof the ways the course explores these questions is through an interdisciplinary, semester longdesign project. Specifically, in fall 2020 (when we had 30 students across three course sections),we developed and administered a balance design project. The benefits of these types of projectshave been well documented in the literature [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]. One of the authors

The need for professors from underrepresented minority (URM) groups is notonly felt on university campuses.

Advocates for theSLO define it as “the level of tolerance, acceptance, or approval of an organization’s activities bythe stakeholders with the greatest concern about the activity” [2].

Research on makerspaces has focused on studentimpact, with three elements suggested as essential for success by Martin [1]: 1) rapidprototyping, digital tools, and low-cost microcontroller; 2) events and interactions within thecommunity; and 3) a failure-positive mindset that encourages collaboration. Research on thebarriers to makerspaces is limited, focusing primarily on inclusive environments andtraining/mentoring [2]. Other barriers found that impede student interaction include student lackself-confidence, fear of failure, and a lack of visibly alike peers [3-5]. A deeper understanding ofmakerspaces, which
