reported an increase in interest in STEM and the 11th grade girlsreported an increased interest in pursuing engineering in college. The males in both 11thand 12th grade reported a decrease in STEM related fields yet rated STEM skills asenjoyable. Page 25.617.10Figure 9. The 10th grade chemistry classes were all males and indicated that they enjoyed STEMactivities after participating in the electrospinning activity. They also indicated in Q. 19 and Q. 20that they were considering pursuing a science or engineering major in college.Although the attitudes inventory was inconclusive, there was a notable change in thestudent’s comprehension and knowledge
