Competition Of VEX EducationalRobotics to Advance Girls Education (COVERAGE) is a project aiming to inspire and supportfemale middle school and high school students to pursue STEM careers in West Virginia, fundedby the Greater Kanawha Valley Foundation. Specifically, in the fall semester of 2019 and springsemester of 2020, West Virginia University Institute of Technology assisted teachers to organizeGirls Robotics Clubs in Kanawha County, Fayette County, and Lincoln County.

, and career-relevant interest, one can conclude theelementary school years is a critical time to increase student engagement in a discipline such ascomputer science.Bringing computer science into the early grades can be a challenging task since very fewteachers who graduated from programs had an objective to build one’s capacity to engagecomputer science subjects. The literature has some manuscripts, e.g., [6] that discuss the codingskills of practicing teachers. After reviewing these manuscripts, it is apparent that most k-12teachers, especially elementary teachers, are novice programmers. Computer science educationliterature reports that novice programmers tend to use a trial-and-error approach when they aregiven the opportunity to develop a

Therefore, it isimperative that colleges and universities continue their outreach efforts to recruit and expandopportunities in these highly sought after career fields. The growth that STEM related jobs areexperiencing is a direct result of the need to renovate the country’s physical and electronicinfrastructure through traditional and modern fields.

Alongwith research and student development, the main goal was to make a positive impact on studentlearning in STEAM through fun and engaging hands-on activities and challenges. Through theseactivities these younger students could perceive STEAM as something inspiring and fun andattainable; as the means to envision a career within the STEAM disciplines.We identified the activities, challenges, and expected outcomes but we had to design a structurethat could adapt and be flexible and scalable for both camps and for future Tech-E summercamps.

Then, they can synthesize the knowledge of fundamental STEM, the introductionlevel of robotics, and design to develop a complicated project. As discussed above, the classmainly focuses on how to understand the theories through practical applications indirectly insteadof how to deliver the theories directly.
