into valuable lead-user ideas. Some of the strongest lead userideas in recent history have been developed by people under the age of 25 24. Each of these ideascould be like the first cell in any community’s socioeconomic improvement. The fundamentalslearned in STEM education provide this foundation. The earlier that a student realizes thesefundamentals provide them an opportunity to contribute via experiential learning techniques, themore likely the student may be to continue through the rigors of the engineering curriculum. Thiscan also be nurtured through arrangements such as the Purdue Foundry (Purdue University; WestLafayette, IN) or community-based maker spaces 25.

I chose a transformative perspective because I want to change the way peoplebehave, not just think, toward under-represented STEM bound students, particularly girls inengineering; how policy is written; curriculum is designed and taught in schools; how businessesinterview and maintain diversity in their workforce; and how engineering
