, sustainability and clean energy,microcontroller coding, and internet security. This program was one segment of a comprehensiveon-going initiative to serve students and educators from underrepresented communities whichalso includes a professional development program for in-service STEM educators. The programfor educators is ongoing and is designed to provide them with the tools and experiences that arenecessary to offer continued support and specific instruction to their students at their localschools. This paper will serve as an investigation of such a program and detail both the deliveryand specific challenges encountered as well as discuss the solutions that were implemented andlessons learned.Keywords: STEM, pre-college, interdisciplinary engineering
