The medtech area isdeemed as one of the most expansive in Sweden and with a history of several Swedish inventionsturned into large international companies the intent is to explore this area in depth to realize itsfull potential when it comes to engaging students in medtech-focused product innovationactivities.

Studies show that nearly 90% of college students and instructors todayrefer to video platforms as an educational resource [5]. Although it may be seen as a temporarytrend, the reality is that video references are becoming increasingly commonplace creating aneed for more educators to participate in video development. From the perspective of contentcreation, demonstrating the use of a tool or the reaction of two chemicals are straightforwardconcepts that can be easily filmed.

Malazita and Resetar (2019) discuss their sociotechnical computer sciencecourse designed to address minoritized students' experiences of split identity. In a similar vein,Amy Slaton points out that the countless resources spent on increasing access for historicallyexcluded students in engineering are at odds with engineering ideologies that depict the field asmeritocratic, neutral, and objective (Slaton, 2015). These perspectives can be difficult to parsefor students (and faculty) who have lived experiences that counter the alleged neutrality ofengineering. Science, Technology, and

She even talks about hearing therepeated stories about how her grandmother helped her students. This may have positivelyinfluenced Dr. James’ perspective about being an educator. Also, Dr. James’ experience inseeing the effects of her relatives as educators may speak to the importance of African-Americans having and seeing others as examples of what having an
