instructors have used flipped-classroomapproaches and take-home resources, so that students could continue learning throughout hands-on activities and team-based projects [2].Regardless of schools’ efforts to provide continuity of instruction, there is a widely sharedconcern about the impact of the pandemic on students’ well-being [2], [4]. By not being able tointeract with staff and peers regularly, students take the burden of continuing their studies ontheir own shoulders [4]. This has particularly affected engineering students, who haveexperienced high levels of stress and time pressure even before the pandemic [5], [6]. Over thepast few years, engineering curriculums have been packed with a large number of complexcourses and project-oriented

students take less computerscience and engineering courses in high school with more males enrolling in thesecourses than females. There are multiple reasons that STEM career pathways may be lacking in K-12education in the United States and contributing to a shortage of workforce inSTEM. Most significant is that students need a strong foundation in science and math inorder to prepare to train for STEM professions. Science and technology courses are fewand students may not have access to take courses in STEM areas contingent on theavailability of teachers and courses (US Congress Joint Economic Committee, 2012). Itis important to provide the K-12 community with ample opportunities in STEM and to beable to apply STEM in real world environments
