note = "Funding Information: The research is part of a larger, NASA-funded project, with the goal to develop and disseminate multiple upper elementary and middle-school engineering units focused on the challenges of space exploration and planetary science. The curriculum engages youth in authentic engineering design tasks in the context of planetary science and space exploration. Concurrently, the project is creating multi-tiered professional development for OST educators as well as complementary planetary science lessons. The development is being supported by extensive field testing, materials design, and a research program, of which this study is a part. The curriculum units foster opportunities for middle-school children in OST settings to become engineers and solve problems that are identified as “personally meaningful and globally relevant” [20]. Each unit has been developed to include fourteen Curricular Design Principles for Inclusivity [21], identified through previous research studies to support student learning, in four overarching categories: Set learning in a real-world context, present design challenges that are authentic to engineering practice, scaffold student work, and demonstrate that everyone can engineer. The Curricular Design Principles are detailed under Findings in Table 3.; 126th ASEE Annual Conference and Exposition: Charged Up for the Next 125 Years, ASEE 2019 ; Conference date: 15-06-2019 Through 19-06-2019",
