To measure the impacts on the developmentof STEM identity, three validated survey tools were modified to fit the needs and perspectives ofthe summer programs: the single-item STEM Professional Identity Overlap (STEM-PIO-1)measure, Role Identity Surveys in STEM (RIS-STEM), and Student Attitudes toward STEM (S-STEM). These tools focused on different aspects of STEM identity formation: 1) overall STEMidentity formation by measuring how much students feel like they overlap with a scientist orengineer, 2

assisted in the various collaborative activities. Forboth offerings, the middle school students completed validated and reliable pre- and post-surveysadapted from the Student Attitudes Toward STEM (S-STEM) Survey and the Group Work SkillsQuestionnaire Manual. The S-STEM survey assessed STEM interests, while the Group WorkSkills Questionnaire Manual Survey evaluated collaboration. Preliminary results from aWilcoxon Signed-Rank test indicated positive significance that the 2024 ECE summer campsessions led to greater enjoyment for campers than the 2023 offering. Daily reflection surveyswere also administered to understand the comparison of cohorts and the impact of individualactivities students participated in each day. Results were analyzed to
