Sustainable Development Goals [3].Since its launch in the UK in 2011, the Engineering for People Design Challenge (adapted fromthe EWB Challenge originating in Australia) has provided 50,000 undergraduate students animmersive opportunity to develop competencies in globally responsible engineering. Through itsprogramming, Engineers Without Borders UK is activating a movement around globalresponsibility and has categorized globally responsible competency into 4 key principles:responsible, purposeful, inclusive, and regenerative. Aligned to this movement [3] the DesignChallenge now runs as an international effort in partnership with Engineers Without Bordersorganizations and participating academic institutions in South Africa, UK, Ireland, USA and

It has been used in manydisciplines, though K12 education stands out for using this technique across teacher professionaldevelopment [e.g., 1], in the classroom as a pedagogical tool in the K12 classroom [e.g., 2, 3],and as a research [4] or evaluation [5] method.

project requires student teams to integrate a wide range of course concepts: user-focused design thinking, hands-on fabrication, iterative prototyping, computer programming, basiccircuitry, and technical communication. Each team must pull together all of these concepts from amongsta membership of only 3 or 4 first-year students. What’s more, every team separately conceives anddesigns their own game, so every team has a unique set of technical challenges to overcome. Given thecomplexity of this work, student teams would benefit enormously from the availability of a targeted,learn-on-demand resource available throughout their project, especially if that resource feels like anatural, real-world practice that provides genuinely useful assistance in
