note = "Funding Information: Vikram Kapila is a Professor of Mechanical Engineering at NYU Tandon School of Engineering (NYU Tandon), where he directs a Mechatronics, Controls, and Robotics Laboratory, a Research Experience for Teachers Site in Mechatronics and Entrepreneurship, a DR K-12 research project, and an ITEST research project, all funded by NSF. He has held visiting positions with the Air Force Research Laboratories in Dayton, OH. His research interests include K-12 STEM education, mechatronics, robotics, and control system technology. Under a Research Experience for Teachers Site, a DR K-12 project, and GK-12 Fellows programs, funded by NSF, and the Central Brooklyn STEM Initiative (CBSI), funded by six philanthropic foundations, he has conducted significant K-12 education, training, mentoring, and outreach activities to integrate engineering concepts in science classrooms and labs of dozens of New York City public schools. He received NYU Tandon{\textquoteright}s 2002, 2008, 2011, and 2014 Jacobs Excellence in Education Award, 2002 Jacobs Innovation Grant, 2003 Distinguished Teacher Award, and 2012 Inaugural Distinguished Award for Excellence in the category Inspiration through Leadership. Moreover, he is a recipient of 2014-2015 University Distinguished Teaching Award at NYU. His scholarly activities have included 3 edited books, 9 chapters in edited books, 1 book review, 61 journal articles, and 140 conference papers. He has mentored 1 B.S., 26 M.S., and 5 Ph.D. thesis students; 47 undergraduate research students and 11 undergraduate senior design project teams; over 480 K-12 teachers and 115 high school student researchers; and 18 undergraduate GK-12 Fellows and 59 graduate GK-12 Fellows. Moreover, he directs K-12 education, training, mentoring, and outreach programs that enrich the STEM education of over 1,000 students annually. Funding Information: The PD workshop was a four-week summer program consisting of a two-week guided training and a two-week collaborative robotic-product development. The workshop was attended by 18 teachers and 33 students from 10 inner-city high schools located in an urban environment. The PD workshop was held at the NYU Tandon School of Engineering (SoE) under the Innovative Technology Experiences for Students and Teachers (ITEST) program of the U.S. National Science Foundation. Teachers and students attended the robotics workshop at the engineering school to learn side-by-side with each other. The project team included engineering and education faculty, post-doctoral researchers, and graduate and undergraduate engineering students who collaborated on the preliminary design, pilot testing, implementation, and assessment of the PD program. There were six engineering students (four graduate and two undergraduate) who served as facilitators responsible for delivering the lectures and supervising the hands-on learning sessions. The racial makeup of the facilitators was as follows: four Asians, one White, and one African American. All of the facilitators had expertise in robotics through their education or research experiences.
