Bennett, New York Hall of Science Ms. Bennett currently serves as Director of Creative Pedagogy at the New York Hall of Science, respon- sible for developing and implementing new initiatives that reflect NYSCI’s core pedagogical approach known as DESIGN, MAKE, PLAY —a child-centered approach to STEM learning that inspires curiosity and playful exploration, builds confidence with new skills and tools, and fosters creative problem solving and divergent thinking. Drawing on 30 years of experience in informal and formal education, she helps translate this approach into practice by creating professional development experiences for our young mu- seum facilitators and K-12 educators, developing apps to stimulate STEM

outcome-oriented and driven by a need to complete a particular tasks, requiringsome expertise to do so [7]. Part of becoming an engineer is learning how to participate inengineering discourse and this process is complex, interactional, and non-trivial [7]. Thesecommunication processes are also reflective of professional engineering practices [8]. Onedesired aspect of having students participate in engineering design challenges is that they learnan age-appropriate engineering design process to support the growth of routines in engineeringdiscourse.McCormick, Wendell, & O'Connell [9] remind us that engineering offers the chance for students“to work toward important goals that teachers already have for children: to become betterdecision makers

Following this line, Shridaran and Mustard [8] explained that authentic assessmentsare comparable to real-world task or assignments, where individuals or teams are able to use anyresources available and at their disposal, such as other colleagues, experts, and access tomaterials and resources, with the goal to accomplish the task at hand.Forms of authentic assessment include portfolios, reflective journals, oral presentations, workintegrated learning, self and peer evaluation, performance assessment, and so on [9].

when solving the engineering problem. Studies withpublished pre-posttest results generally show positive learning gains in science content (e.g.,[11], [14]) and practices (e.g., [15], [16]) as a result of implementing these types of curricula.However, studies that provide an in-depth look at students’ engineering design decisions havemixed results with regards to the amount and quality of students’ application of science andmathematics to the engineering challenge (e.g., [17]–[20]). Some research has shown thatstudents have difficultly justifying their design solutions with science and/or mathematics [18],though guided reflection and evaluation about benefits and trade-offs helped them thinkscientifically [17].

However,it would be impractical to cover the CURENT research activities in great technical details, whichare the products of graduate student research.

Other students said they could not become engineersbecause they were not creative or didn’t know how to ideate. Several students said they couldbecome engineers but would not because they planned to pursue another career of interest. It ispossible that all of these students might find engineering more appealing if they saw their ownskills and interests reflected in engineering. For example, we note that six girls and one boyplanned to become veterinarians; perhaps these students would be drawn toward engineering ifthey were aware of ways to

Courses titled “Industrial Technology” (11%)differentiated from the less frequent program “Industrial Arts” (1%). This marked movementaway from “Industrial Arts” was also captured in Sanders’ [36] survey which reported 20% ofthe programs titled “Industrial Technology” and only 9% “Industrial Arts.” Respondents alsospecified the name of their program in the “other” text box.

Students iteratively design the helmet using practical arts and crafts materials and engage in testing to determine the performance of their design. Students also reflect on their designs to influence further iterations. On day 3, students use the engineering design cycle to iteratively design surgical tools. Students evaluate their tools by performing mock surgeries on gelatin models to remove embedded masses. Students evaluate their tool performance and use that to inform further design improvements. On day 4, students revise their tools to enhance performance and prepare for day 5 challenges. The day 5 competition includes
