This $1,068,770 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education (CFDA 47.076) program, awarded to Cornell University on April 1, 2025, aims to broaden participation in engineering among Black children and families. The project will develop identity-affirming informal learning resources in engineering disciplines, including biology, civil, computer, electrical, environmental, and mechanical engineering. The resources will engage Black children ages 6-10 and their caregivers in hands-on engineering activities that teach relevant practices and highlight notable Black engineers and scientists. The research team will evaluate how these resources impact children's engineering identities and interests through a mixed-methods study involving surveys, observations, interviews, and artifact analysis. Deliverables include video workshops for caregivers and a suite of engineering activities for dissemination through homeschool networks, media, and STEM education channels. This project seeks to increase representation of Black individuals in engineering pathways and careers.
