to understand andembrace, but once we did, we knew there was no going back” 30. This acknowledgement ofstudents’ emotional experiences changes the direction for reform efforts from the narrow scopeof pedagogy and curricular support to a broader conversation that includes student engagementand the development of a supportive community. Efforts to understand student self-efficacy haveincluded studies of identity, or whether students think of themselves as engineers 31,32, anddefining what is meant by “continuing motivation,” other than simply staying in a degreeprogram 33.Some efforts should concentrate, then, on creating supportive environments within engineeringto help retain students, while others focus on developing courses and projects

Quantitative responses from weekly program surveys show increasing levelsof program satisfaction (in seven of eight categories) throughout the duration of the RETprogram. Ongoing work includes evaluation of qualitative survey responses to further measureprogram effectiveness and to assess self-efficacy in teacher participants. Results will helpformulate the remaining summer WE2NG programs as well as future K-12 outreach at theColorado School of Mines.I.

self-efficacy, sense of belonging, identification and identityintegration. Often, negative experiences are the result of subtle bias or schemas that all studentsbring with them into their teams, and occur despite the employment of best practices in teamformation.This paper presents a summary of a contemporary understanding of this phenomenon aspresented by several individual researchers covering the fields of stereotype threat, engineeringdesign, teamwork, motivation, and race, gender and their intersections. The content of this paperwas generated by collecting the individual responses of each researcher to a set of promptsincluding: • examples of how students can be marginalized in engineering teamwork and what governing

practice between early elementary teachers, K-12 STEMCenter staff and Ph.D. student volunteers could boost in-service, inner city teacher ability andself-confidence to teach coding and introduce robots as authentic, real-world digital learningopportunities. Based on the teacher responses to surveys administered pre- and post-PD sessionsby an independent external evaluator, the results show this to be true.Overall, the first- and second-grade teachers who participated in the BOTS program held apositive perception of these activities, as measured in the surveys from the four PD sessions.These surveys show that teachers felt more confident in implementing the material in theclassroom and demonstrated improved self-efficacy navigating through Code.org

interest in STEM content and careers.”When students are engaged in meaningful tasks that incorporate facets of science, technology,engineering, and mathematics, they will develop a stronger self-concept and greater interest inSTEM fields. Engineering design activities increase students’ interest and self-efficacy inengineering and their problem-solving abilities (Householder & Hailey, 2012). Thomasian(2011) noted when students were not provided with opportunities to engage in hands-on STEMactivities, their ability to complete a postsecondary degree in a STEM field was diminished. Healso stated that without a “rich supply of STEM-skilled individuals” the United States wouldstruggle “to compete in the global economy, where discovery, innovation
