primarily designed and implemented byMerrimack College’s STEM Education majors – college students studying to be STEM teachersat the elementary and middle school level. The engineering students therefore support the STEMEducation majors and the local youth.Through participation in this program, engineering majors practice their technical skills, discoverthat they HAVE technical skills, and practice their communication skills at the same time -developing higher self-efficacy and seeing the community’s need for the skills they already have.Meanwhile, middle school students are mentored by college students, gaining insight into what itwill take to be on that path, and being inspired to take up a career in STEM. Finally, STEMEducation majors provide
