By focusing on providing equitable and engagingSTEM experiences, educators can foster broader confidence and interest in these fields. Earlyexposure to engaging and accessible STEM education not only prepares children for highereducation but also helps dismantle barriers that prevent many students from pursuing hardsciences [6].The deficiency in K-12 data science education, combined with the importance of early exposureto data science, inspired the development of this literature review. Young people should beequipped with the skills necessary to become educated and productive

-ential learning has the most potential to benefit from VR, as engaging experiences can be simulatedthrough virtual interactions [24]. Situated learning theory posits that knowledge is extracted fromthe social, cultural, and physical context in which it resides [25]. Because VR offers a sense ofpresence and immersion, virtual environments can be constructed to provide rich situational con-text for learning. Finally, guided discovery learning theory claims that learners who explore anddraw conclusions on their own– with limited help– develop a sense of self-efficacy that reinforceslearning [26]. Less structured, open-world VR simulations can foster a discovery-based environ-ment that can be difficult to recreate in the real world.Though less

This early development is impacted by a variety of factors, such as academicperformance, peer and teacher recognition, and acceptance of self within a field [5]. Research shows that engagement and interest in STEM subjects decreases in certainidentity groups beginning in middle school, despite a closing of the STEM achievement gap interms of gender. [7], [8].
