The students use 3-D software to design a part and modify thedesign by changing parameters in a design table that is exported to a spreadsheet. Anumber of different designs are sent to two different rapid prototyping (RPT) designfirms that build the parts and give the cost of building each part. A silicon mold is madeand a quick

Recognizing the need to increase opportunities forhands-on engineering for students of various racial and gender identities, we partnered closelywith a school where there was a high student need for out-of-school STEM opportunities and anestablished content-based curriculum relevant to the biomedical engineering research project ofour institution.Project Goals and StructureIn the fall of 2020, we began collaborating with local high school science educators to developan immersive summer STEM program with an emphasis on biomedical engineering.

This imbalance arises from multiple factors, including differences in cognitiveabilities, interests, lifestyle preferences, and the impact of gender-related stereotypes [1].In the U.S., academic culture often favors "low-context" approaches, which can marginalizestudents who thrive in "high-context" learning environments.
