these professions7.Thom and Thompson15 conducted a study on recruiting models and concluded that the traditionalrecruiting model ignores the internal needs of young women who are conscious of self-imageand self-worth and who worry that women in technical careers are perceived as less feminine. Asearly as elementary school, boys typically possess more interest in studying science than girls.By middle school, girls’ attitudes toward science tend to decline, and this decline may persistthrough high school9. Young women may also fear failure and assume that males have superiortechnical knowledge. Further, a perceived lack of support, communication, and camaraderie maydeter young women from pursuing technical careers. Thom and Thompson suggest that

Males and females both showed slight increases in their probability ofgraduating from high school after participating in PLTW programs5. This study also found thatapproximately 70% of PLTW students transitioned to higher education, while non-PLTWstudents were more likely to transition to 2-year institutions5. Further examination revealed thatalthough the majority of Iowa’s PLTW participants are white males, 20% of PLTW femaleparticipants suggested their numbers mirrored national

We internallydeveloped and tested various 3D printed mold designs to support design flexibility (see Figure 2and Zhang, Jackson, Hacker, Mentzer, and Kramer17). For example, the mold parts affordvariation in the length of the gripper, configuration of internal pneumatic chambers, and differentfill heights to affect the elasticity of the robot (see Figure 3).

Thegeneral response appears to be that approximately 38% felt adequately prepared by the rigor ofthe secondary school curriculum but 44% felt unprepared compared to peers due to a lack ofexposure to technical classes and hands-on engineering projects and activities. At the same time,100% of peers surveyed believe that there is benefit to offering a hands-on engineering programto secondary school students in Trinidad and Tobago, based on their own experiences.DiscussionSurvey results indicated that those students in Trinidad and Tobago had limited exposure topractical

instruction difficult, as students either felt bored or overwhelmed. Student travelschedules further exacerbated this issue, as one student with the least technical experiencemissed some group work sessions due to travel, causing the student to fall behind. Eventuallygroup instruction was modified to better fit a group of disparate experience, but this could notfully bridge the skill gap between students. In addition, the use of opt-in recruitment instead of direct contact of potentially wellfitted students may have limited the number of potential participants, as students with lesscomputing confidence may have felt discouraged from applying despite their interest or skill.Our third student, despite being well qualified for the project, did

After an academic yearNetLogo follow-up session over 75% of the K12 teachers were satisfied with instruction andsupport. Over 85% of teachers believed that the workshop "stretched teacher thinking into theirclassrooms.” Teachers’ qualitative comments are included for triangulation. Conclusionsinclude that intense K12 teacher exposure to engineering CS topics (e.g. 24 hours total of alarger PD) is not enough to truly enact meaningful classroom changes (although the teachers didcreate new activities). Additional support for meaningful classroom change and K12 teacherconfidence is necessary. In general, K12 teachers need (and

With the mentorship of the lead engineering faculty member, teacherswere encouraged to draft their lesson and look for guidance when necessary to ensure effectivelearning.
