Visual art and engineering are twosubject areas with precarious footing in the K-12 U.S. education system.

Capstone projects frequently involve multiple elements including design,simulation, fabrication, validation, and cost analysis. This complexity requires system thinkingand can easily become interdisciplinary [1, 2]. Due to reporting requirements, interaction withcustomers and sponsors, and collaboration among different team members, these projects alsoprovide an excellent opportunity for practicing and improving written and oral communicationskills [3].

an “evaluate-and-improve” taskIntroductionWith the wide adoption of the Next Generation Science Standards [1], engineering has migratedto the elementary school classroom, often alongside existing science units. With funding fromNSF’s ITEST program and in collaboration with partner school districts, we developedintegrated science and engineering curriculum units for elementary school students in Grades 3through 5. In these units, students learn about a problem in their local community, then engage inrelated inquiry activities before designing and prototyping an engineering solution to theproblem. As part of our iterative curriculum development process, we wanted to assessindividual students’ design thinking practices at multiple points in

Having diversity in team membership in terms of gender and culturalbackground has been linked to improved performance compared with homogenous teams (Page,2008), but cultural biases and social factors can impact how certain students (e.g., women,students from traditionally underrepresented minorities, students with low socioeconomic status)engage in team projects [2]–[5]. For example, female students may be marginalized to clericalroles on design teams [3].

The social license loosely refers topublic acceptance, but the term is usually invoked without clear definition [1]. Advocates for theSLO define it as “the level of tolerance, acceptance, or approval of an organization’s activities bythe stakeholders with the greatest concern about the activity” [2]. From its original use in thepulp and paper and mining industries in the 1990s, the term has since

Research on makerspaces has focused on studentimpact, with three elements suggested as essential for success by Martin [1]: 1) rapidprototyping, digital tools, and low-cost microcontroller; 2) events and interactions within thecommunity; and 3) a failure-positive mindset that encourages collaboration. Research on thebarriers to makerspaces is limited, focusing primarily on inclusive environments andtraining/mentoring [2].
