The program serves socio-economically disadvantaged high school students in the Seattle area by promoting college enrollment and offering
events, but not as part of regularinstruction (either in-school or after-school). Educators needed more resources to confidently useFLEET as part of their teaching, and administrators wanted to see more substance to theeducational materials before they brought it back to their schools for adoption within scienceclassrooms or as part of after-school activities. This feedback informed another phase ofdevelopment on the surrounding educational materials that made the STEM learning explicit andprovided more resources to better address the PDE model’s requirement for providing studentssufficient resources.Additional Development – Educational ResourcesDesigners of engineering education emphasize group work, collaboration and instructionalvideos for

This explorationencompasses surveying how Makers engage in communities of practice and knowledgebrokering11. Although their work is done outside of structured engineering education, theircommitment to collaborating and engagement in the community is something that can be betterunderstood to advantage our teaching in the engineering classroom. This approach aligns withproject-based learning as a teaching method in the classroom, a call made in Sheppard’sEducating Engineers: Designing for the Future of the Field12. Engaging

engineering education that are well-suited to the complexity of these tasks16.Numerous colleges and universities have developed a variety of configurations of PBL as eithercornerstone or capstone courses, providing project experiences aimed at developing students’disciplinary and collaborative skillsets5,16,23. However, many programs delay extendedcollaborative opportunities until students’ senior capstone, leaving students with the challenge ofadapting to the collaborative work environment while also attempting to apply and showcasetheir own disciplinary skillset in the context of an extensive design project. To add even morecomplexity, because the very nature of design thinking and action involves an interplay ofconvergent and divergent inquiry
