prepare participants to pursue graduateeducation in a science, technology, engineering or mathematics (STEM) discipline[2-4]. Theearlier students are exposed to STEM research experiences the better their chances of succeedingin STEM related professional careers or in the pursuit of a STEM related graduate degree [5-9].Undergraduate research serves as an efficient vehicle to motivate students to apply classroomknowledge to real world situations and problems. Research experiences for undergraduates alsosupport the development of specific skills that will be useful to the participants’ future researchendeavors. This includes that ability to work through the uncertainty and ambiguity present inopen-ended research problems[10], gaining a deeper

sport (wrestling) as an entry to engage Baltimorestudents both after school and in the summers with sport training, financial literacy, and STEMeducation. It is a non-profit youth development program that combines amateur wrestling withmentoring and academic development. The overarching aim is to enhance personal development,discipline, and sense of self-efficacy along with concrete skills and knowledge in areas relevantfor overall career and life success. The summer STEM (and financial literacy) program drawsprimarily minority male students who are already high school athletes. The program typicallyenrolls 30 students between the ages of 14-18. All participants attend Baltimore City Public HighSchools. The six-week summer program has elements

education limiting their motivation andsuccess in math and statistics. Mathematics and Statistics serve as foundation for all programs inScience, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM); therefore, lower success inmathematics can also affect their decisions to follow a STEM career [12], but also underminetheir success in engineering courses [13], [14]. The issue of anxiety and lack of confidence intheir abilities can be worse for female students who are often raised under the stereotypic viewthat females are not good at math [15].Enhancing math problems with RL examples can provide deeper understanding of math conceptsand skills [5], [3]. It can also motivate students to learn more about how math can be used in reallife, experiencing a
