, government, and school districts have a duty to provide coherent and focusedprofessional learning experiences for STEM educators [8,9,10]. Teachers delivering NGSScurriculum without being trained appropriately provide missed opportunities for motivatingstudents. The inclusion of NGSS must go beyond the classroom to make the practicalconnections to everyday engineering. Local programs have been successful in increasing interestin STEM and technical disciplines among elementary school children by exposing them toSTEM-focused, hands-on collaborative activities at an early age [11, 12].
