inclusion in the K-12 space, and navigation in engineering culture.Dr. Elizabeth Birr Moje c American Society for Engineering Education, 2018 “What the problem really was…”: A preliminary exploration of youth problem definition in everyday contexts.Introduction Throughout the history, one consistent theme is the interplay between technology andsociety. In persistent cyclical iteration, members of a society require new tools to meet newchallenges, having been brought to these challenges by tools in the first place (see [1]). Forexample, the more advanced cell phone technology becomes, there is a higher demand forinnovative features [2]. It stands to reason then that the technology
