Science (CS) department got together and proposed a focused10-week long funded summer camp for two local high schools with the following objectives: 1. Provide graduate students to instruct in the areas of` mobile application development, forensics and cyber Security. 2. Provide CS one-on-one mentors for students while conducting their work-based learning experience in Computer Science. 3. Assign hands-on interdisciplinary projects that emphasize the importance of STEM fields when using and developing software applications. 4. Promote and develop soft skills among participants including leadership, communications skills, and teamwork.The proposal was funded, by DOE and the summer camps were conducted in the summer of

Lastly, using these results, volunteers can enhance future opportunities. • Students were asked to reflect on their learning individually to provide an Individual indication of their progress interest level, and content knowledge. This was Reflection done through drawings, worksheets, and surveys. Conclusions & Future Work

IntroductionGroup projects in engineering and computer science coursework are a critical part of the educationprocess. Not only do they enforce the concepts being taught, they also provide an environment inwhich essential professional skills (aka, soft skills) can be understood, culminating in a synergisticlearning experience. The value of such group learning has been well documented in bothengineering and computer science courses [1]-[5], and is a cornerstone to the
