pedagogical goals for the K-12 classroom.Future DirectionsSince holding the focus groups, e4usa has started acting on some of these themes andsuggestions: ● Liaisons are sent emails every 3-4 weeks, copying the teacher. These emails tell the liaison where the teacher is in the curriculum and provide one or more specific suggestions about what the liaison could offer to the teacher in the upcoming weeks. By sending this information not only to the liaison, but also to the teacher, the teachers may feel more empowered to ask for something from their liaison. ● e4usa has begun hosting monthly optional 30 min sessions for liaisons only that allow e4usa staff to share information and more importantly, for liaisons to

Training the National TeamsWhen creating a curriculum for training students in robotics, there are several key considerationsthat educators should keep in mind. It is important to ensure that the curriculum is aligned with thegoals and objectives of the international competition the students will be participating in – namely,the FIRST Global Challenge. This will help to ensure that students receive the training they needto succeed in the competition and will give them a narrower scope of what they are expected toachieve. Moreover, the curriculum should be designed to be inclusive and

Yet, the field of biologicallyinspired design (BID) is still relatively new within engineering [4]. Nonetheless, undergraduateand graduate engineering programs have emphasized integrating BID into their engineeringcurriculum to better prepare engineers for the global economy [5]. Studies have demonstratedthat BID integration has the potential to provide students with unique experiences that canencourage interdisciplinary interactions [6], [7].

There remain widegaps in who has access to and is participating in CS education at the high school level [2].Previous research highlights the fact that marginalized groups can feel that they don’t belong inCS as early as 2nd and 3rd grades [3]. One solution is to bring CS education to lower grades sothat belongingness (as well as knowledge) can be cultivated in the critical formative years.However, while middle school also has grown, the number of states that require CS in K-5 and thenumber of schools teaching CS in K-5 still remains low [1]. 1Mabie, McGill, Huerta

Habits of mindhave been found to support the development of critical thinking and problem-solving skills [3]-[4], which are key skills within the field of engineering, as well as other STEM fields such asmathematics [5]. As described by Alhamlan et al. [3], habits of mind are often discipline-specific.

adecline in interest in STEM starting at age 11 [2]. A look at gender differences found that middleschool girls are much less likely to report interest in a STEM career than boys [3]. To counteractthis decline in interest, researchers have found a link between consistent engagement in anafterschool STEM program with an improved interest in STEM [3] [4]. However, attendance inan out-of-school (OST) program is often sporadic [5], and the duration of programs varieswidely [6]. Further investigation is needed on the amount of exposure to OST STEM as apredictor of interest in STEM, with gender as a moderator. This study explores this relationshipby examining a middle school STEM afterschool program serving a traditionallyunderrepresented group, low
