Abstract: This paper explores a particular episode of a high school robotics team’s practice from a posthumanist perspective that values the agency of materials. Exploring material agency is essential in uncovering educational injustice because notions of who can participate in STEM practice are rooted in assumptions about relationships to materials. Analysis uncovers that, in the focal activity, two young women’s entanglement with material actors produces a significant resistance to oppressive notions of how women can participate in engineering practice.
