integrating creativity into beginnercomputing education, students become intrigued by the potential of Computer Science, whilefurther application of computer models and simulations better suit them for mathematical andscientific investigations. Shanahan & Marghitu (2013) depicted a study advocating the potential benefits of usingcreativity-based activities in their analysis of a middle school program known as ProjectExpression, where Project Expression was a course designed to attract students into the field ofcomputing. In short, the course focused on a film project where participants were challengedwith creating a movie that expressed an idea, opinion, or belief relative to society. The filmproject was a landscape for learning cloud

STEM Education under TPACK Framework in Middle Schools1. IntroductionRecent years have witnessed an accelerated growth in the advancement and diffusion oftechnology. For example, open source hardware (such as Raspberry Pi, Arduino, e-health sensors),open source software (for operating system, embedded computing, vision, graphics, animation,robotics), 3D printers, mobile communication and computing, the Maker movement, and onlinelearning resources have democratized access to technology, unparalleled in human history.Moreover, cascading advances in machine learning, big data analytics, virtual and augmentedreality, and robotics are poised to significantly and pervasively impact our society. In thisbackdrop, it is of paramount

funding agency requirements, but also streamlines the transition ofstudents into high-tech jobs. The specific focus of this consortium is to create pathways for highschool students to make strides in areas of high- growth jobs based on predictions published bythe State of California, Employment Development Department 3; namely (i) Innovation andEntrepreneurship, (ii) Digital Manufacturing, (iii) Animation, and (iv) Web Design. In this paper,STEM-based career pathways, i.e. innovation and entrepreneurship and digital manufacturing,are discussed in detail, since the academic appointments of all the authors are within the Collegeof Engineering.Benefits to High School StudentsThe number of students pursuing engineering careers is not enough to be

Electrical and Computer Engineering at Drexel University. He received his BSEE from Temple University in 2011, and MSEE from Drexel in 2013. In 2012, he received the NSF-funded GK-12 Fellowship, for which he designed activities for Philadelphia high school students illustrating the connection between the arts and the sciences, to catalyze interest in STEM/STEAM. Jeff currently studies under Dr. Youngmoo Kim in Drexel’s Music Entertainment Technology lab, pursuing research in novel musical interfaces and machine learning applications in music information retrieval.Mr. David S. Rosen, Drexel University David Rosen is a doctoral student in Drexel University’s Applied Cognitive and Brain Sciences program. He has an M.S degree
