questions students were provided with for career mapping activity alongwith (b) an example.Speed Networking: Each session consisted of a 10-minute interaction of one volunteer with twostudents. Students were encouraged to ask questions to learn about the volunteer’s profession,and the volunteer got to learn about the students’ interest, favorite subjects, career goals andprovide relevant career resources accordingly. Based on informal feedback, we found that careermapping and speed networking provided participants with similar opportunities of interactionswith volunteers. As such, we have decided to focus on either of the two activities in futureiterations of the event. However, all students and volunteers appreciated the time to discuss

These cycles included a) establishing an instructional blueprintfor sequencing the learning of these engineering concepts, b) coordinating focus groups forvalidation of these blueprints, c) designing sample socially-relevant/culturally-situated learningactivities, and c) establishing pilot sites for testing and refining this work within K-12classrooms. As a result of this work, 60 EPMs that cover the concepts related to engineeringhabits of mind, engineering practices, and engineering knowledge have been created.

Appendix B. To analyze these plans, the research team utilized a document analysis approach. Each teammember independently reviewed the plans to identify themes and patterns. Regular meetings wereconducted to compare findings, address discrepancies, and refine the coding framework. Additionally, theteam explored precedents of vertically integrated topics across K-12 education to contextualize theapproach within existing educational models. The iterative analysis allowed the team to synthesize findingsacross districts/grade levels.Preliminary Findings The analysis of the VA plans from each school district provides a perspective of how educators andadministrators planned to integrate semiconductor content/experiences across schools, grades, and

Thisinterdisciplinary approach supports student learning and demonstrates how engineering designserves as a powerful integrator of STEM disciplines [1], [12], [13], particularly through contextand content integration [9].B. Motivating and engaging contextsStudents engage more strongly with content when instructors provide a motivating and engagingcontext. Here the word “context" is used to describe a narrative or a scenario that helps studentsunderstand or apply content. Students are motivated when they understand the utility of thecontent being learned and can apply the learning to be of use to others [5]. Additionally, whenpersonal connections to content are clear, students are more inclined to persevere throughchallenges and demonstrate an increased desire

Yosso [25] described communitycultural wealth as an a collection of cultural knowledge, skills, abilities, and connections held bygroups that frequently remain unrecognized and unappreciated, while deficit thinking suggeststhat these students and their families are to blame for low academic achievement because: (a)they begin school lacking the typical cultural knowledge and skills, and (b) their
