Moreover, whenstudents engage in authentic hands-on activities and can see applications of STEM in their lives,it further motivates them to pursue STEM careers [3]. Therefore, keeping the research in mind,Introduction to Research and Innovative Design in Engineering (iRIDE) was initiated in thespring of 2019 for middle school students as an after-school extracurricular club followed by asummer academy to stimulate their interest in engineering.

adecline in interest in STEM starting at age 11 [2]. A look at gender differences found that middleschool girls are much less likely to report interest in a STEM career than boys [3]. To counteractthis decline in interest, researchers have found a link between consistent engagement in anafterschool STEM program with an improved interest in STEM [3] [4]. However, attendance inan out-of-school (OST) program is often sporadic [5], and the duration of programs varieswidely [6]. Further investigation is needed on the amount of exposure to OST STEM as apredictor of interest in STEM, with gender as a moderator.

Yet, engineering curricula still tends to focus on guiding studentsthrough problems that can be answered in a single, technical solution [3], ignoring thecomplexities needed to prepare students to solve real world problems [3, 4].

findings of an exploratory study on the use of e-textiles and potentiallyextended reality (XR) technologies for intergenerational engineering learning.Rationale The role of families in STEM learning. Although families are often an overlooked factor in thepositive engagement of students in STEM topics, family relationships and dynamics have a large bearingon student achievement, interests, enthusiasm, and beliefs surrounding ability [1]. When considering howto engage students with engineering topics, family members, especially those in a parental or senior rolecan act as a catalyst for engagement. Individuals acting in a parental role are the main contributors to astudent’s career aspirations, and support behaviors related to science from
