This study, part of the broader NSF and Wellcome Trust-funded Science Learning + (SL+) project on cultivating creativity and equity in STEM learning, asks the question: How does the materiality of tools and materials shape both learning and participation? In our out-of-school workshops, we are studying a curated set of commercial toolkits that represent the full range of arts-and-sciences approaches targeted at teaching the arts, circuitry and robotics.
