Throughout the course,students are asked to reflect on who gets to be a scientist or engineer, who defines whichquestions researchers ask and which problems engineers solve, who benefits from thesesolutions, and what role social justice plays in science and engineering practice.Throughout the course, we explore these inter-related questions: 1) How do our cultural ideas about race, gender, disability and sexuality influence science/engineering knowledge and practice? 2) On the other hand, how does our science/engineering practice influence our cultural ideas about race, gender, disability and sexuality? 3) How can we use science and engineering

Students experience, first hand, the variety of activities and career pathswithin the discipline. Through exposure to multiple topics, we provide participants with an opportunityto discover the aspects of computing that is of most interest to them. The goals of the summer camp areto: Expose students to the breadth topics within computer science Provide a low-cost summer program Expose students to role models who “look like them”(The program is open to all, but targets underrepresented members of Computer Science arena) Provide students with technical

Tinkering, in contrast to the typical hands-on interactive exhibit, letsvisitors engage in engineering practice through designing, building, and testing their owncreations using a variety of materials with visitor-defined goals whereas traditional exhibits onlyallow a limited range of interactions because they are usually designed with specific learninggoals. Thus, tinkering provides a unique opportunity for children to engage in engineeringlearning.Despite the increase in tinkering programs at science centers, these programs have yet to berigorously established as educationally
