incomecan meaningfully engage youth in STEM learning. However, understanding how to design,implement, and evaluate these programs can inform future innovative ways to engage youth intechnology-rich learning and motivate them to pursue technical career pathways [2,13,21,31].Furthermore, it is important to understand how youth experience these programs and reflect ontheir own learning. Research has long recognized the educational value of technology-richmaking activities, such as 3D modeling and printing, physical computing, hobbyist robotics,among others, for engaging youth and adults in self-directed STEM learning activities[4,9,23,26].

Students were split into groups of 10-20 and rotated through fivedifferent demonstrations and activities with a heavy focus on basic and applied researchassociated with biomedical, chemical, and environmental engineering, such as designing a scalemodel of microscale technologies to capture cancer cells, examining the properties of polymers,and observing water filtration methods. There were three iterations of this event starting in 2017with an average participation of 100 middle school students per year. Results from pre- and post-surveys showed that 22% of participating students increased their interest in engineering andover half increased confidence in their ability to become

The automotive industry’s current battery technology is lithium ion, whose energy density, discharge ability, and relatively low cost are starting to take on larger scale applications in vehicles. Admittedly, lithium ion batteries do not come without their own share of negative environmental impacts, particularly through a large quantity of emissions at their inception. However, enough usage, over time, will eventually create a less significant impact on the environment than standard combustion engines. While companies continue to work towards more environmentally
