Design and Implementation of the Professional DevelopmentRecruitment and selection of participantsThe PD was advertised to public school district STEM curriculum coordinators acrossPennsylvania through email, a STEM outreach center website from the state’s land-grantuniversity, and posts on state STEM education association social media pages. To participate,educators had to attend as a team from their school district, requiring two teachers: (a) anelementary educator teaching in grade four or five and (b) a middle school educator teaching in aSTEM-related area. These parameters were intentionally created because the workshop content,materials, and

The palm serves as the rigid connection betweenthe actuators and controls (Figure 2.a). The connection between palm and actuators is a cubiccasing (Figure 2.b), slot secured to the palm (Figure 2. a.iv-c.iv).

The difference between the two is the level of specificity, e.g.,the idea to change the number of blades (Offer Variables) versus the idea to have three blades(Offer Design Ideas). The more hindering of these two is the latter, which is like offeringexamples during brainstorming—a practice to be avoided [7], and one that is evident in thetranscript excerpts from PST 12.
