different from many other invention competitions in that teamwork isstrongly encouraged and the teacher is a vital part of facilitating the process. When studentsparticipate in the InVenture Challenge, they do not work alone at home; rather, they arecollaborating with up to two other student peers and their teacher is guiding them through anengineering design process. As a result, the InVenture Challenge is inclusive and diverse—abouthalf of K-12 participants are female and nearly 40% are underrepresented minorities.The contributions of this paper are two-fold. First, a model is provided for a K-12 innovationprogram housed at a university that is aimed at empowering underrepresented groups in STEMdisciplines by looking further down the pipeline

). A problem with this approachis that due to the timeline of the course, the course ends up focusing more on the develop-ment than on the testing part (the author reports that 55% of the time is spent developingwhile only 33% of the time is spent testing, and the remaining 12% is spent writing a shortreflection paper).There have also been experiences using “real-world” (industrial) software under test in test-ing courses8, as a mean to effectively teach students how to test real software. The majorrisks of this approach are confidentiality and technical support on software that is under de-velopment by others.

Lastly, the transition to remote instruction meant a significant portionof the student body were not co-located on the university campus; many remained at home withtheir parents.
