Staff from thenonprofit also act as facilitators, supporting the corporation employees who teach the lessons.ChallengesOne identified challenge is volunteer recruitment. It is challenging to recruit volunteers on aweekly basis, as employees need to get permission from their managers to leave work earlieraround 3 to 3:30 p.m. to participate in the afterschool outreach activities. Work tasks may take ahigher priority and so volunteers may be unwilling to sign up. This in turn makes implementationchallenging as there may not be sufficient volunteers to cover the large number of students and toprovide more individualized attention.Content delivery was challenging during the

improve things can be invaluable training todemonstrate to students that: 1. The solution(s) presented are not the only possible solutions. 2. Ethically better solutions are possible, and, can be outlined by professionals-in-training such as themselves. 3. In some cases, the ethically poorer solutions are also technically less challenging and it is kind of fun to develop the more challenging solution. The above are starkly apparent in the case of the case study involving voice assistant devices suchas Alexa and the choice to stream data back to a central location. In fact, students reach the conclusionthat not only is constantly streaming data back to a central location unnecessary to meet theapplication needs but also may be a

pedagogies such as problem-based learning or responsive teaching,instructors require students to make mistakes and admit to and grapple through confusion. Studentsare often reported to be resistant to active learning, and it is important for instructors to developepistemic empathy for their students’ affective responses to confusion in the classroom. In thiswork, I report on two class sessions of a higher-level engineering elective in which I elicited andresponded to student confusion in one class session, and then in the next, which I initially describedas a “math disaster,” made technical mistakes and became confused myself. Through reflectivepractice on these experiences with confusion, I developed heightened empathy with students whoare
