opportunities of the futurerequires that they learn to engage in analytical thinking, argumentation, and collaborativeteamwork and that they see such practices as central to design processes. Engaging middleschool learners in collaborative engineering design projects can provide them with opportunitiesto develop communicative competencies related to speaking like an engineer by participating intalk about designed products, design processes, and metacommunicative talk about designcommunication itself.9-11The K-12 engineering education community also recognizes collaborative interaction as a keyengineering practice. The National Research Council identified communication as a vitalengineering “habit of mind.”12 Additionally, the Next Generation Science

Thestudents who use it for a communal connection point primarily benefit from having likemindedpeers, however, notably do not regularly engage with personal projects, instead using it as astudy space where they can be louder and have off topic conversations. The largest benefits tothis group derive not necessarily from practicing hard skills, but being surrounded by like-minded peers who support their classwork and share similar interests. The second group ofstudents who use the space for specific tasks make up the majority of the engineering andpersonal projects that move through the space, and are notably less communicative than thesocial students.

shares knowledge, teaches, and relates whatwe have learned via metaphors and narratives. Even our own identity in the world can be thoughtof as a narrative in our minds, and to imagine our future selves we must construct a futurenarrative. It is this power of story that we believe needs to be fundamentally embraced bydiversity efforts in engineering and computing to make a significant change in our demographicchallenges. And yet, the power of story is left, mostly, unexplored in engineering as it does not fitwith our STEM-focused fields that sit strongly in the camps of quantitative evidence, testing, anddesign.We will argue in this paper, that there is convincing evidence that leveraging the power of storymight be the “holy grail” for changing

Thus, we usedthe characteristics of engagement were comprised by Cunningham and Kelly’s (2017) epistemicpractices of engineering in this study because they are reflective of the nature of engineering,specific to the habits of mind reflected in the Framework for P12 Engineering Learning, butgeneral enough to be more likely to arise in the interviews. The three groups of stakeholderswhose views were examined in this study are not engineers and it was unlikely that theirreflections on STEM engagement would be specific enough for the Framework (2020) to be themost meaningful descriptors of their views.
