a STEM researchproject. National Science Foundation Middle/High School Student Attitudes Towards STEM (S-STEM) Survey [8] was used to assess the overall impact of the outreach program on the femalestudents’ self-confidence and motivation in pursuing future cross-disciplinary STEM careers.The results showed that the 21st Century skills related to critical-thinking, communication, andcollaboration was the section with the most radical improvement.Keywords: kinematics of mechanisms, protein kinematics, biomechanics, biochemistry, DNAnano-mechanismsIDEAL Online Summer Outreach Program Curriculum Plan and MethodsDuring the summer of 2019, mechanical engineering faculty and two undergraduate studentsfrom both NSM and ECS colleges offered a two
