1. Dr. Avneet Hira Purdue University, West Lafayette [biography]

   Avneet is a doctoral student in the School of Engineering Education at Purdue University. Her research interests include K-12 education and first year engineering in the light of the engineering design process, and inclusion of digital fabrication labs into classrooms. Her current work at the FACE lab is on the use of classroom makerspaces for an interest-based framework of engineering design. She holds a B.E. in Aeronautical Engineering and is presently completing her M.S. in Aerospace Systems Engineering.

2. Dr. Morgan M Hynes Purdue University, West Lafayette [biography]

   Dr. Morgan Hynes is an Assistant Professor in the School of Engineering Education at Purdue University and Director of the FACE Lab research group at Purdue. In his research, Hynes explores the use of engineering to integrate academic subjects in K-12 classrooms. Specific research interests include design metacognition among learners of all ages; the knowledge base for teaching K-12 STEM through engineering; the relationships among the attitudes, beliefs, motivation, cognitive skills, and engineering skills of K-16 engineering learners; and teaching engineering.
