This need to be flexible and adaptable around variousaspects of educational programming in the K-12 space can be evidenced in many ways. Forinstance, a planned workshop could not come to fruition due to scheduling conflicts in theclassroom. Leaf Chromatography was initially planned at the midpoint of the series, whenstudents were learning about plant cells and chlorophyll in their science class. Though theprepared slidedeck and protocol were not tested in the classroom, this workshop’s documents areshared alongside the other Mobile Bioengineering Lab deliverables on the website.Overall, the post-workshop survey results exhibited generally positive attitudes toward

Theoretical FrameworkEquilintegration (EI) Theory, developed by Shealy [23], provides a comprehensive frameworkfor understanding how individuals construct, balance, and integrate their beliefs, values, andidentities in response to personal, social, cultural, and ecological influences. EI Theory positsthat individuals strive for a stable and coherent worldview by integrating diverse experiences andperspectives, which is crucial for developing intercultural competence.
