,curriculum design is undergoing profound changes motivated by the Framework for K-12Science Education [7] and the Next Generation Science Standards [18]. These documents outlinea vision for contemporary science education that includes a shift towards phenomena-basedinstruction. In phenomena-based instruction, the focus of learning is about figuring out how toexplain a phenomenon (e.g., Why did a girl with antibiotic resistant bacteria get so sick?) ratherthan learning about a set of topics (e.g., the human immune system and evolution) [19]. Onepremise of this approach is that through “figuring out”, youth will be developing deepdisciplinary knowledge while engaging in authentic science and engineering practices, such asasking questions and defining

Since this realization, I have been on a variety of teams that partner with informal learning organizations to introduce engineering using a Maker curricula.

Additionally, the influence of parents is likely toocomplex to be measured in quantitative form as the questions about parents’ perception ofSTEM, their income, and their

However, teachers intimated the ideaof relevance beyond typical approaches that emphasize readiness for STEM education in latergrades as indicated by the NGSS and CCSS.
