, consistently show great success in theenrollment and retention of women. Research into women’s preference for these engineeringdisciplines suggests that women earn larger proportions of undergraduate degrees in programswhere they perceive their career will benefit society in the long term and that these preferredprograms offer both the motivation to persevere in the curriculum and, once completed, greaterprospects for a more rewarding career. Based on these findings, university engineeringdepartments can help motivate women to major in engineering and to stay engaged throughouttheir college careers by offering opportunities to address societal challenges and reinforce thepotential contribution they can make through their career. Academic libraries can

It is well known that early exposure toSTEM environments can inculcate and reinforce interests in technical fields at key decisionpoints when individuals choose career pathways [1]–[3]. Given the importance of a strong STEMtalent-base to global economic competitiveness and prosperity, there exists a need to cultivate apre-college landscape gives all students broad, authentic exposure to STEM fields earlier in theireducation [4]. In the framework of cognitive career theory, individuals choose careers based oninterests, attitudes, and values

science and engineering in a variety of contexts, both in and out of school.Participation in informal science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) activities,along with interest in STEM subjects, is associated with interest in STEM careers when studentsreach the university level [1]. Out-of-school, informal learning can occur at a variety of sites,including everyday experiences; designed sites such as museums, nature preserves, and libraries;and structured programs such as after-school activities and summer camps [2]. This paperdescribes the programming provided at one academic library to a STEM summer camp formiddle schoolers [3] and explores the opportunities and challenges of this kind of programmingin an academic library.STEM

Her research focuses on com- munication in engineering design, interdisciplinary communication and collaboration, design education, and gender in engineering. She was awarded a CAREER grant from the National Science Foundation to study expert teaching in capstone design courses, and is co-PI on numerous NSF grants exploring com- munication, design, and identity in engineering. Drawing on theories of situated learning and identity development, her work includes studies on the teaching and learning of communication

Considering this, games and contests become a naturalway for engineering students to engage in critical thinking, problem-solving, and information-seeking skills, which will all be of service to them in their future careers. In an earlier library contest at NYU’s Bern Dibner Library, called Project Shhh!, welearned that while students showed gains in information literacy skills and enjoyed the challengeof the competition, other factors contributed to whether students would participate in a librarycontest [4]. One of the biggest concerns was time: both the timing of the contest within thesemester, in regard to classes and exams, and the duration of the contest. In the
