to the engineeringeducation community. Based on our experience, high school students are far more capable of managing thedevelopment of powerful Engineering/STEM messaging and materials than is generallyaccepted. By getting out of their way, we have empowered them to design their own programsand ideas without relying on the ‘adults in the room’, - and the SiS program is much stronger forthat. We do not presume that we know better than our students, how to teach love of engineeringand STEM. The young educators reflected on some of the important attributes contributing to thesuccess of their initiatives: Endless creativity, close connectivity and relevance with youngchildren, a similar experience base, a culture of volunteerism, mutually
