This paper focuses on two keyelements of the research conducted during Making Connections: examining the alignmentbetween the types of making described by project participants and those commonly associatedwith Making; and the analysis of the maker-style activities developed during the project thatdraw on these ideas. As such, the goal of this paper is to present one example of howconversations with members from traditionally underrepresented groups can influence andchange the types of activities that can be used to engage young people and their families inmaking.Background and Theoretical FrameworkRecent work in the engineering education community has begun to examine the potential of theMaker
