WOC.For students of color, campus climate issues around race, class, and gender shape their highereducation learning environment. Research suggests hostile campus climates are associated withstudents of color leaving STEM fields before graduating. Such barriers can be more pronouncedfor WOC who often experience a “double bind” of race and gender marginalization whennavigating the STEM culture. Therefore, it is important that educators understand experiences ofWOC and what is needed to improve students’ experiences in order to minimize the performancegap in key indicators (e.g., retention, achievement and persistence). We seek to address thisSTEM need through the guiding research question: “How does the double bind of race andgender impact the

. Based on school improvement literature, teachers are the most important school-based factor impacting student achievement7. Though not a direct objective of miniGEMS,the literature suggests that improvement to teacher quality is most affected by long termprofessional development as opposed to a one-time workshop8. Based on this information and conversations with local school leaders, the authors beganhosting the miniGEMS STEM camp for the first time in Summer 2015. miniGEMS is a free five-day long STEM summer camp for middle school girls from various local school districts.

In thisprogram, the first year class can continue to serve students using best practices for common firstyear experience courses, but students who are either not confident or lack competence indiscipline-specific skills have a chance to address this before being academically responsible.

On a deeper level, however, it is notlogical to claim narrow technical expertise is required for functional literacy about technologyuse, for assessing the acceptability of broad-impact risks created by technologies, or foranticipating the social impact of technologies whose relationship to social action and interactiontranscends underlying technical

She devotes a whole chapter to the impact of the U.S. News college ranking system and how its use of known proxies creates a system prone to gaming. This possibility for gaming then lay the foundation for a consulting industry that further privileges students with a high socioeconomic status (usually white, urban, upper-class families). Therefore, even if the model itself might not be the main discriminatory tool, it can set clear conditions for discriminatory practices. This is a salient point because, as O’Neil illustrates, one of the reasons we wish to create models is so that
