toseveral potential explanations for why individuals decide to mentor, including self-enhancement[5], [6] or the fulfillment of personal values [7], [8] such as altruism [9]. Self-efficacy andconfidence also have been related to whether mentors persisted in their relationships [10].Furthermore, mentoring also has been described as having improved mentors' personal (e.g.,organization) and leadership skills [11]. However, this research is limited and often specific toparticular mentoring programs.We know relatively little about why people decide to mentor in the context of science,technology, engineering, and math (STEM) learning specifically. While many diverse types ofmentorship programs exist to encourage students in underrepresented groups to

traditionally areunderrepresented (UR) in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) educationand careers. These students include African Americans, Latinos, Native Americans, PacificIslanders, those with special learning needs, and women. For instance, fourth grade AfricanAmerican students scored on average 24 points lower than their White counterparts, and 35points lower than their Asian American counterparts in 2015. In eighth grade, the gaps are evenlarger: 32 and 47 points, respectively. In science, African American fourth graders scored 33points lower than White fourth graders, and 36 points lower than Asian American fourth graders(NAEP, 2015).Strikingly, literature also demonstrates that the problem of underrepresented male

He also has assisted both the campus as well as the local community in developing technology programs that highlight student skills development in ways that engage and attract individuals towards STEAM and STEM fields by showcasing how those skills impact the current project in real-world ways that people can understand and be involved in. As part of a university that is focused on supporting the 21st century student demographic he continues to innovate and research on how we can design new methods of learning to educate both our students and communities on
