Quite a few studentscommented on more than three prototypes. Most comments were encouraging, and hence it is notthe value of the ratings but the number of ratings that indicated the popularity and peer approvalof certain prototypes. These were factored into their project grades, together with prototypedemonstration to instructors, website info, and team peer evaluations.The website was also sent to other colleagues and community members and the followingcomments were received. • “We are very proud of the work our students have done.” • “The students developed some innovative

RED program is to use complexity leadership theory to transform thetraditional student-faculty relationship. Under the complexity leadership model, students engagewith each other and with faculty in a more collaborative environment than a typical classroom,usually working on a real-world project that has no defined solution.Students gain experience working in heterogeneous teams, refining problem statements, andcommunicating complex ideas to each other and to stakeholders. By “encourage[ing] facultymembers and students to interact dynamically under pressure to be innovative, adaptive, andproductive” [7], RED hopes to engage students, reduce the dropout rate and foster anenvironment in which students can develop professional skills.Springer

, leading many girls to pursue other,more human-centered fields [10]-[12]. Introducing children to engineering as a profession thatinvolves empathy and care for others can counteract perceptions that engineering is impersonaland technocentric [4], [10], and informal STEM environments in particular can play a role inoffering engaging introductions to engineering for girls and young women. Developingengineering experiences specifically with girls’ interests and needs in mind can allow informalinstitutions to create innovative learning experiences that shift whose perspectives are valued,inviting a wider range of identities into the field.Development efforts in museum settings have explored strategies for providing personal andsocial contexts for
graduate students, but rather begins at the precollege level because“innovative methods to develop critical thinking, ethical sensitivity, and moral reasoning willprovide a strong foundation for students who might later pursue science as a profession, andbuild on that foundation for more experienced scientists” [1].

This course was thusin need of careful attention to be effectively and inclusively taught.Over time, various engineering innovation strategies have been sought to strengthen this courseby multiple instructors.
