design for manufacturability.ResultsFrom project launch in Phase 1 to presentations in Phase 4, the students had about four and a halfweeks to design the Little Free Library for their community partner. Following the presentations,the community partners filled out a survey to gauge their experience and satisfaction with thestudent designs and, finally, to select the library they wanted built.Following the semester, the students had the option to help participate in building the Little FreeLibraries that were selected by each partner. The CAD screen captures below in Figure 1 providea glimpse into the student designs each partner selected. a. Metro Deaf b. Minnesota c. University of St. d. Big Brothers Big School

Up to 75% of global food wastage (~1 B tons per year)occurs before food reaches a consumer [15] , disproportionately impacting farmers andvulnerable communities, particularly in developing countries, resulting in ~$700 B in lostincome and exacerbating elevated levels of poverty and malnutrition [15].

integration in curriculum [4]; it is a highly flexible and adaptable model; it hasbeen subject of recent research scrutiny [5]; and it is embedded in the Anglo-Saxon culture,emphasizing cultural divergences to the Latin American context.The paper is structured in four main sections. The first three sections describe each of theselected cases. These sections are organized in subsections with the historical background, theprogram description (how CEP is built in curriculum), the role of partnerships and funding, and ashort account of strengths and limitations. In the fourth section, we summarize the main findingshighlighting a) the differences and common features of the CEP programs and b) the variationsin the institutionalization process of the CEPs

The SPOT device GPS data instead, was obtained directly from the SPOT satellite constellation through the cloud. (See Fig. 1) Fig. 1. Payload hardware configuration. The balloon utilized for this mission was a 1200 grams latex balloon. The gas used to fill thisballoon was helium, flyby type. It was needed about 3 m3. In addition, a radar deflector as well as a parachute was integrated to this HAB. It totallyweighted about 2000 grams. (See Fig. 2) Fig. 2. HAB team before launching. B.

Excel by a group of 3 students. This group wanted a simple andappealing user interface displaying four different data (wave height, dissolved oxygen, watertemperature, and air temperature) with bar charts. In the center of the GUI, two filters were placedfor users to select data ranges for display, and user-friendly instructions were provided between thefilters, i.e., "How to Use the Dashboard: Use Control+Left Click to Select Data Range." For thebackground image, the Bicentennial Tower and the US Brig Niagara (a wooden-hulled snow-brig)were used for an aspect of creative design. In contrast, the dashboard in Figure 1(b) wasimplemented in Python by another group of 3 students. This GUI also processes four different dataas in the first example

what was going on and successfully completing the tasks. Also in Classroom A thelead teacher was not the only one leading the class; aids would also pitch in with instructions andguidance. Classroom B was presented information at a much faster pace. Students in the focusgroups noted the instructor talked fast, so students in that room were getting lost more frequentlyand relied heavily on the classroom aids to help them one on one. Classroom B had one extra pairof students so all aids couldn’t help everyone at the same time. We also noticed that Classroom Bwas louder than Classroom A as so many different side conversations were going on.

, technology, engineering, andmath (STEM) professionals is vital to strengthening the growing demand for engineers. Previousstudies about raising interest in STEM majors focused on (a) the number of undergraduatestudents who decide on a major prior to attending college, (b) common misconceptions regardingthe STEM field, and (c) the effectiveness of pedagogical techniques to increase curiosity.However, during the COVID-19 pandemic, pedagogical techniques to introduce K-12 students tothe STEM fields must be adjusted. This paper investigates the effectiveness of variousmethods to engage and interact with K-12 students interested in STEM during the COVID-19 learning environment and discusses key conclusions from a pilot 90-minute virtual modulefor K-12
