This multi-perspective approach will provide a more detailed representation of theoutcomes for students participating in invention education, as well as insights into the challengesand successes faced by instructors in implementing the curriculum. Future research should alsoinclude older participants, middle and high school, to understand how their experiences andoutcomes change across different stages of education.As educators strive to enhance STEM engagement, ongoing research is vital to document thelasting impact of invention education programs.

To understand the impact of these international experiences, we aredesigning a qualitative, parallel study across five U.S. institutions representing a mix ofin-person and COIL international experiences for undergraduate students at different academiclevels within science and engineering disciplines. We aim to connect transformative learningtheory, focused on multiculturalism and connectedness, with international experiences using EMas the theoretical framework.

Next, the groups were invited to pick a second object and repeat the process. The groups were given the option of combing their two source objects into one new creation, or to fully start over with their new product. Students were also given less time to work with their second object than they were given with their first. The goal of repeating the exercise with less time was to fully instill the concept of creating from source media as well as to allow students to engage in non-judgmental idea generation.3.
