Our classes are moving further and furtherfrom physical reality and have become digital and virtual. If we agree that making stuff is specialfor us, data physicalization could be an avenue to get back to making, to increasing sensoryavenues, to including other ways of knowing, to spatial perception, to embodied cognition.

Concerns about WLB impact STEM students’ planned career trajectories, includingthoughts about leaving STEM [8].
