The participants received approximately forty (40) hours of hands-on STEMlearning. Approximately, 60% of student participants were from underrepresented groups inSTEM. Project evaluation data was gathered through Student Feedback Surveys, Dimensions ofSuccess (DoS) Observation tool, and pre/post topic self-efficacy questionnaire.IntroductionBy 2030, over 60% of all jobs will require postsecondary education [1]. While adopting theCommon Core State Standards should lead to more college-ready students over time, studentswill still need programmatic support from secondary and
