plan.”Data AnalysisFirst, we individually coded each episode per family for one or more of the 16 epistemicpractices [6]. Cunningham and Kelly [6] classified the 16 epistemic practices into four broadcategories: (a) engineering in social contexts (e.g., consider problems in context, persist in theface of failure); (b) uses of data and evidence to make decisions; (c) tools and strategies forproblem solving (e.g., consider materials and their properties); and (d) finding solutions throughcreativity and innovation (e.g., innovating processes, systems, and objects). As an example ofour coding process, the following event from the Soccer Bot kit was coded as envision multiplesolutions and consider materials and their properties because Ashley

solutions solutions.Fixated on initial solution ideasThe theme fixated on initial solution ideas highlights students being attached to a single idea orsimilar idea that carried over into their final design. Many teams conceptualized one idea fortheir lunchbox design but presented it as multiple ideas (i.e., varied angles and features). Forinstance, Team #3 claimed they conceptualized multiple ideas, which they indicated met all ofthe design requirements and were inspired by a “penguin” (EDPL-Team #3). However, it was asingle idea presented from different angles as three different design concepts (Figure 2). (a) (b) (c)Figure 2. Lunchbox design: (a) concept A top, (b) concept

, Solutions, and Impacts(ISI) indicators. This is because the integrated STEM lesson assignment included the followingquestion prompts: (a) Where are you going to encourage innovation and creativity?; b) Howdoes this topic/project impact diverse populations of people locally, regionally, and/or globally?Referring to Moore et al.’s FQEE [23], question (a) about innovation and creativity best alignswith the POD indicator whereas question (b) about the impact to diverse populations connectswith ISI indicator. Future iterations of this assignment will include questions that ask elementaryPSTs to plan for the inclusion of other engineering features into their projects. For this portion, we selected four of the seven groups that incorporated

What about the prototypefrustrated you?; and (c) Find something around your house that represents how you felt whenworking with someone in your family. As noted by Lippard et al.

Students were then asked to what extent they would place trust in each of thesefriends. The majority of the students expressed a higher level of trust in friend A, who is a morereliable one. Then, we introduced a twist to the scenario. We revealed that now both friends Aand B will speak the truth 97% of the time. This adjustment changed many students’ trustevaluations. Many students indicated that they would place greater trust in friend B, who becamemore trustworthy, while friend A’s trustworthiness decreased. This exploration of trust dynamicsin friendship scenarios served as a parallel to the

, which involves various parameters that affect their further design.Consequently, we designed the MATLAB activities and hypothesized that by initiating with amathematical model rather than immediately engaging with physical materials, students coulddevelop a comprehension of the filtration parameters. This theoretical foundation wouldsubsequently inform their prototype building and iterating phase, potentially leading to moreinformed and effective design choices.ParticipantsWe presented our findings from student focus group data from two schools: School A, threestudents, and School B, six students, in two different states. For anonymity reasons, we have notincluded state information. Table 1 displays the characteristics of the schools. This
