Abstract: The article focuses on using a culturally and socially responsible engineering design process, informed by sociotransformative constructivism (sTc), to teach students how to engineer their own liquid soap. It emphasizes the importance of integrating social justice and ethical considerations into STEM education, moving away from profit-driven models to ones that prioritize community needs and environmental impact. The author provides a detailed example of a classroom activity that engages students in soap-making while addressing issues of health inequalities and promoting inclusivity. The article aims to inspire educators to adopt this approach in their teaching practices, fostering a sense of agency and empowerment among students. [Extracted from the article]
