different from many other invention competitions in that teamwork isstrongly encouraged and the teacher is a vital part of facilitating the process. When studentsparticipate in the InVenture Challenge, they do not work alone at home; rather, they arecollaborating with up to two other student peers and their teacher is guiding them through anengineering design process. As a result, the InVenture Challenge is inclusive and diverse—abouthalf of K-12 participants are female and nearly 40% are underrepresented minorities.The contributions of this paper are two-fold. First, a model is provided for a K-12 innovationprogram housed at a university that is aimed at empowering underrepresented groups in STEMdisciplines by looking further down the pipeline

is no meaning outside of a person’s perception. Weconstruct our understanding of the world through our own realities: “[K]nowledge refers toconceptual structures that epistemic agents, given the range of present experience withintheir tradition of thought and language, consider viable” (Von Glasersfeld, 1989, p. 124;italics in original). Thus, knowledge is contextual, contingent, and subject to interpretation.Constructivism informs the thematic analysis of this study by considering the statements ofthe research participant to be their own construction of what diversity means and how itimpacts education. During the analysis I made efforts to ensure the authentic voice of theparticipant.Constructivism also has implications for data analysis

Moreover, westudied how such PD would impact the teachers.Our prior study of the middle school ecosystem revealed that teachers’ needs should always bethe focal point of PDs, as there are many unmet needs for CS/CT in K-12.

For example, two participants alsoexpressed interest in public service careers, which they indicated were influenced by theirexperience in TechHive. One was particularly interested in communication, saying, “I want toteach and keep doing video production on the side of scientific research.” Another was notspecific about what they wanted to do, but knew that TechHive “reinforced my goal to give backto the community as much a possible through what I create.”Beyond interview and survey results, youth provided additional evidence that they are moreinterested in STEM.

Thus, engaging graduate students in activities that develop them as teachers andprovide them as opportunities beyond their research could increase retention in doctoralprograms, as well as improve their research abilities. Melding these two needs of improving K-12 STEM education with increasing diverseopportunities for graduate students to engage beyond their research projects could be synergistic.This paper describes a program to take the scientific expertise of researchers, both graduatestudents and postdoctoral fellows, to underserved secondary classrooms by pairing researcherswith teachers.

NSF S-STEM Track 3: Scaling Up Student Success through Broadening Participation Beyond our S-STEM CohortIntroductionFirst year programs in engineering education are commonly used to help improve studentsuccess and retention at engineering colleges. Such attendant programs often involve studentinterventions such as learning communities, student mentoring, and bridge programs or bootcamps that provide external motivations and supplementary learning objectives aimed at helpingfirst year students in engineering succeed academically, [1]. Moreover, urban universities oftenhave student populations with a wide array of hurdles that impede their success in engineeringand STEM fields. Of these includes financial instabilities

learning goals for pre-college engineering are stillbeing contested. One argument, which is promoted in science standards, is that engineeringdesign provides an authentic context to apply science concepts [4] [5] [6]. However, others arguethat this represents too narrow a view of engineering and promotes misconceptions [7] [8]. Inresponse to these concerns, the American Society for Engineering Education (ASEE) andAdvancing Excellence in P12 Engineering Education introduced a Framework for P-12Engineering Learning [9]. This framework outlines learning goals for engineering literacy thatmove beyond a narrow focus on practices, including engineering habits of mind and knowledge.In addition, the authors call for further research to scaffold learning

changes of global competency levels of engineeringundergraduate students and how it is influenced by different factors through time. A conceptualmodel differs from the formal structures of hypothesis testing in the sense that it is exploratory innature. That is, it looks to uncover any existing relationships between the considered variables,based either in theory or in empirical evidence, instead of testing the magnitude or direction ofhypothesized relationships 15. Our model proposes that students entering an engineering programmay already have certain levels of global competency, and that these potential differences arecritical in designing strategies and interventions at the college-level. In our model, these baselinelevels are influenced by
