engineering education will leave students with an incomplete view of engineering (Moore, Tank, Glancy, & Kersten, 2015; Carr, Bennett, & Strobel, 2012). Science education researchers have argued that it is important for students to understand of the nature of science because it expands student understanding beyond scientific inquiry, the primary activity of science (Bartos, Lederman, 2014). In a similar approach, K-12 students should also understand the nature of engineering, not just engineering design (the primary activity of engineering). A better understanding of the nature of engineering would provide a foundation for students to better understand engineering. Literature Although research into the nature of engineering for K-12

One camper said, "Sometimesyou feel like you are the only visually impaired person out there, but there’s a lot of people outthere who are also trying to do the same stuff and have the same interests as you”7.

Thus, teacher and administrator buy-in is an absolutenecessity if the goal of the project is to impact a large number of students beyond what islogistically possible through afterschool programs and summer camps. Developing thoserelationships takes time and requires sufficient planning. Second, student participation inafterschool and summer activities will decrease among the same cohort of students as a result ofother extracurricular activities and jobs taking precedence as students increase in age. This maylimit the number of students that a program can reach. The teachers noted that some aspects ofthe program could be

We investigate a current and successful program –the Software Factory approachwith existing undergraduates, and apply it to K-12 students.
