Abstract
A ChangeMaker is anyone who chooses to take creative action to solve a problem for impact. The ChangeMaker Mindsets help youth navigate ambiguity and reframe thinking toward problem-solving. As students embrace and use the ChangeMaker Mindsets in their STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) experiences, they are more readily able to achieve deeper learning and are encouraged to think about the potential impact of their work. These mindsets enhance STEM learning experiences because they inspire adaptive capacities in students to grow and thrive even as they face uncertainties, challenges, and ambiguity in today’s complex, rapidly changing world.
