Work in Progress: Place-based Engineering with Rural Schools: Investigating the SCience and ENgineering Inquiry Collaborative (SCENIC) in Colorado

Loraine Glidewell, Marisa Mendoza-Maurer, Joseph L. Polman, Daniel Knight, Angela Bielefeldt · 2024

Summary. SCENIC Colorado partners with rural high schools to support engineering and science learning through place-based projects on soil and air quality. The program uses an asset-based approach grounded in rural cultural wealth rather than deficit thinking. The research examines how the program's educational infrastructure enables place-based inquiry, how local history and culture shape students' project selection, and how environmental monitoring projects develop rural students' engineering and science identity—addressing underrepresentation of rural students in STEM pathways.
