Abstract	The purpose of this qualitative case study was to explore how equity-oriented pedagogy infused with Making activities promoted five non-dominant middle school youths' attitudes toward science in an after-school program in the Midwestern United States. The researchers conducted pre- and post-interviews with five students from non-dominant backgrounds, and also administered attitudinal surveys to the five students at two time points (pre/post). Additionally, the researchers observed the level of student participation by video recording each after-school session, observed the level of student anxiety by using skin temperature biofeedback, and examined student artifacts. The findings revealed three themes. This study found that equity-oriented pedagogy infused with Making activities showed great potential in sustaining non-dominant youths' positive attitudes toward science. (As Provided).
