. c American Society for Engineering Education, 2016 Work in Progress - Innovation through Propagation: Improving and Diversifying PathwaysIntroductionRound 1 of the Delphi study of the critical unsolved problems facing engineering educationresearch, described elsewhere1, included a question on barriers related to “improving anddiversifying the pipeline”. Several respondents pointed out that the pipeline metaphor has beenchallenged in the community for its rigidity and expressed a preference for the “pathways”metaphor, which suggests multiple routes instead of a single route. The pathways metaphor isconsistent with the literature.2,3For round 2 of the Delphi study, the prompt was changed to “pipeline and

Additionally,introducing grade school, middle school, and high school students to computer science without acomputer lab seems impossible. The activities presented in this paper do not require a computerlab and can be done with a range of age groups, any number of people, and people with no priorcomputer experience. The goal is to introduce various topics using fun physical activities andeveryday experiences that are familiar
