1 Christopher G. Wright, Ph.D. Assistant Professor of STEM Education Department of Theory & Practice in Teacher Education “Tightening up your shoe game:” Engineering STEAM Identities in Urban Youth

2 The Problem: Relationships between identities, learning, and context

3 Think about and write down 5 “identities” of yourself. Choose ONE of these identities. Is it “static?” Choose THREE of these identities. What is their relationship? How does this relationship impact your “academic identity,” or learning? Who are you?

7 Know the young people you’re working with! Making STEAM Relevant Take a look at your shoes…..

8 Concept Project: “How is your shoe game?”

9 Students explore why different types of sneakers are used in a variety of common sports, and how engineers analyze & design needs in sneakers. Students analyze foot movements in a variety of sports, develop design criteria for a specific sport, & make recommendations for requirements for the sneakers used in that sport. Bioengineering & Shoe Design

10 The STEAM in Sneaker Design

11 What opportunities do youths have to communicate their connections? Can you create opportunities for youths do develop a design problem? Moving Forward: “Authentic” Robotics
