Abstract
Thirty secondary teachers from varied subjects participated in STEM professional development. Design projects included LED wristbands, LilyPad Arduino human sensors, Arduino Uno ambient sensors, and 3D printing. Teachers collaboratively developed and implemented interdisciplinary design-based learning units with students. We assess changes in content knowledge, classroom perceptions, and student mindsets.
