moved toward the creation of prototypes. Prototypes werebuilt, tested and modified as necessary.Student DemographicsStudent participants for the project were recruited through multiple efforts. A recruiting flyer wascreated and distributed to the classes at the four participating schools via STEM-Inc teacherparticipants when the school year started. In addition, the recruiting flyer and applicationpackages were always available at the school front offices during STEM-Inc enrollment period.Furthermore, a STEM-Inc open house and live engineering/computer science projectdemonstrations with Q&A session was held at each one of the four schools, mostly during thelunch hours in September for recruiting students.
