This paper introduces Walk andDraw, a collaborative effort between the disciplines of Computing, Arts, and Interactive Mediato support students as they navigate the STEAM disciplines. The Walk and Draw applicationenables students to experience nature while documenting their findings. We have built anopen-source prototype system that supports students in conducting and documenting theirexperiences in varying environments, thereby providing the opportunities for self-reflection andsharing their experiences with their peers. Ideally, Walk and Draw will support students intheir lifelong goals of communication, exploration, and creativity. Walk and Draw

,formative assessment approaches aim to develop talent, which is more likely to reduce barriers facedby female engineering students as well as those students in underrepresented groups in STEM fields.These methods encourage reflection, which enhances learning, and they increase the intrinsicmotivation to learn, which teaches skills and creates enthusiasm for life-long learning. This is thegoal of education. Engineering education reimagined to allow a cycle of try, fail, study, try again,and learn, based on a growth mindset, is progress toward providing true quality education. It alsolevels the playing field, increasing the possibility of success for women in engineering, and reducingbarriers often encountered by students of color, indigenous
