When asked to consider how theirpersonal identities intersect with engineering, five out of the seven female students in the classexpressed feelings of being excluded from engineering because of their gender. In the Week 4reflections, these five female students used words such as “self conscious,” “disadvantage,” and“insecure” when reflecting on being a woman in engineering. One student wrote that “manypeople don’t take me seriously when I tell them I am an engineering major [b]ecause they think Ilook more like a liberal arts student.” Another student wrote that her identity as a Hispanic, low-income, and female caused “conflict in my personal life because close family and family friendsdon’t

; however, there remains a lack of cohesiveengineering thrusts in primary and secondary school curricula [7]. This gap misses a hugeopportunity, as engineering design encourages students to critically think about importantsocietal challenges and link their work immediately to tangible outcomes which would promotecontinued interest in STEM. Hence, there is an emergent demand for (a) students who have hadsignificant, hands-on engineering and design experiences and (b) trained K-12 teachers who canimpart engineering and design principles to their students. To address the pressing need for high school engineering design training, particularly foryoung people from underserved minority populations, we have created the HYPOTHEkids (Hk)Maker Lab, a six

The ADA defines disability for theindividual level as: a) a physical or mental impairment, b) a record of such impairment, or c)being regarded as having an impairment.3 Within the context of higher education, students areafforded “reasonable accommodations” to address such impairments, though these do notnecessarily equate to inclusion within the classroom.Donna Riley, a member of ASEE and professor at Virginia Tech, has already asked, “What doesit mean that in 2012 there was no expressed space for disabled engineers on this Island [ofOther], or elsewhere at ASEE?”4 when such a space exists for
