Recruiting focused on low-income, Latinx families because they represent a vulnerablepopulation that does not often participate in citizen science projects. The families completedinitial screening interviews to establish a baseline of their perceptions of drought, drought-resiliency, water conservation and water quality testing. The project required a commitment ofapproximately six months to construct an acrylic concrete rainwater harvesting tank at ourengineering laboratory, adopt it for home use, document water usage, and collect rainwatersamples for quality testing.

and ensure that the later value is smaller than the former value for any givensurface. The students were also asked to verify and report their obtained values against thosereported in the literature as much as possible. Additionally, the students were also asked toidentify the sources of error in their experimental model that would have resulted in deviations(if any) of their calculated friction coefficient values. Majority of the students (greater than 90%)were able to report values and reflect upon their results and the deviations they observed.Considering that this is not a controlled laboratory experiment where all the equipment andparameters are strictly controlled, the simple experimental models built by the students workedquite well to
impact the quality of the transcription as well as thepracticality of the overall system. It is difficult to evaluate the feasibility of specific audio inputmechanisms in the development laboratory since we lack the ability to reliably simulate real-world conditions (such as background noise). Data gathered from real-world testing will besignificantly more informative. We will work with test subjects to ensure that a variety of audioinput mechanisms are trialed in a variety of cases and gather users’ feedback. We believe thiswill lead to the identification of an additional design criteria with regard to ensuring a practical,high-quality audio input.ConclusionsWe identified and presented six major design objectives for an augmented reality

Students in the Summer Engineering Academy worked in teams with faculty inlaboratories to answer age-appropriate research questions related to Qatar’s grand challenges forengineering. Students participating in Future Engineers worked in teams to assemble 3D printerkits and, in parallel, to design objects to print with that technology. In both programs, studentsenjoyed close mentorship from faculty, laboratory instructors and undergraduate engineeringstudents. Communication skills were woven throughout the projects as a STEAM element —students were asked to present, discuss and defend their work and research findings. Overall
