Robotics presents a versatile educational launchpad for STEM education because of itsinterdisciplinary nature. Starting with the LEGO Mindstorms launched in 1993 [2] , Roboticswas quickly absorbed into STEM education and soon became a member of the classrooms andhomes by the early 2000s. Robotics competitions like FIRST and FLL and other informaleducation avenues also helped kick off engagements in robotics for the youth [3], [4].Interestingly, all these interventions focused on the educators’ intentions of using robotics as atool to teach and nurture students’ interest in STEM, however, the students remained silent

The content of FYE courses can include any combination of topics such as design,communication, professional skills (e.g., teamwork, leadership), and engineering specifictechnology/tools (e.g., MATLAB, CAD) [2].

Additionally, artificial intelligence (AI) provides evenmore opportunities for improved learning in courses [7].

Graduate education in engineering often requires graduate students to balance multipleroles that shape their academic and professional identities. Indeed, in addition to developing theirresearch skills, graduate students are often asked to assume teaching and mentorshipresponsibilities. These responsibilities are seen as opportunities that can significantly contribute tothe student’s personal and professional growth [1]. However, these roles are sometimes viewed assecondary when compared to their research within the academic environment, reflecting a broadertendency to prioritize the latter over teaching in STEM opportunities/programs [2]. This limitationhas been reported to hinder the development of pedagogical skills in graduate students [3

LGBTQ students in STEM often face significant barriers, including unsupportiveand hostile environments, harmful biases, heteronormative STEM spaces, and marginalization,as well as a lack of understanding of their experiences both inside and outside the classroom [1-4]. These challenges make LGBTQ students less likely to be open about their identities withSTEM peers, which can negatively impact their sense of authenticity, belonging, and persistencein these fields [5]. Such barriers can hinder professional formation, as LGBTQ students maystruggle to reconcile their sexual or gender identities with the dominant norms and cultures ofSTEM disciplines, creating tensions and identity threats for these students navigating
