The second factor is addressed by including hands-on activities in thelesson plans and providing opportunities for the students to work on exploratory projects and toparticipate in ongoing research projects. A companion paper in this conference specificallyaddresses this aspect (Lin et al. 2007). The third factor is addressed through individual or smallgroup mentoring. In fact the faculty team made every effort to do all that and has been successfulin retaining the students in the program and sustaining their interest in STEM areas.Some of the challenges we faced in the camp operation are discussed below.

For the first two workshops the students received a stipend of $1000.00 to attend. Thestudents worked in small groups to acquire many skills related to their success in the STEMfields and engineering, in particular. Skills they learned include teamwork, research,procurement of materials, problem solving and career planning. While working on mathematicsand engineering related projects they also got familiar with TAMIU’s faculty, students,equipment and other resources available to them.

The plan is to use selected relevant topics in NASA’smission to enhance the quality of the teaching of calculus. The need for scientific computationsinvolving the application of calculus in NASA’s space explorations will be emphasized. Currentevents such as the year of 2009 being the International Year of Astronomy and successfulreplacement of the Hubble telescope camera by NASA astronauts will be utilized to motivate andeducate students about astronomy and mathematics along with the contributions that exploringspace makes to society and culture.

By having the fellows conduct their summercamp activities in the presence of their partner teacher, the teachers were able to give fellowsfeedback on their presentation and activity leading ability. Overall, fellows had a positive response to the summer camp. They felt that they werebetter prepared to enter the classroom, that their lesson plan delivery skills had improved, andthat they had more ideas as to how to bring research into the classroom.

Thus the structure of the project itself can be described and presented in away that carries cultural meaning for Navajo students.Further, design projects can be structured to blend culture and course material. In engineeringoutreach camps in the Navajo Nation, students were asked to write a story related to their culture(e.g., “Describe a day in the life of a Navajo middle school student”).

Parentswho motivated their children were also involved and successful in STEM careers themselves.This seemed to be a key element in encouraging students to clarify their ambitions and plans,with parents aiding their children to pursue meaningful career opportunities.

The program emphasizes solving ill-defined problems; hence, participantsneed to be able to get the gist of the problem in the pre-planning stage prior to engaging inbuilding and using the robots. As such, program coordinators should reverse engineer tasks andtimes allotted to each phase of the engineering design.Lastly, several mentors pointed out that program administrators should expand the programactivities to expose the middle school youth to other areas within the STEM fields. For example,one mentor stated: expand more on the STEM aspect. Because it’s heavily [focused on] engineering and maybe mathematics, but less towards technology and science.

We hypothesize that, academic performancefrom underrepresented high schools cannot alone be used to predict the performance of a student.A student’s success is determined on motivational and personal characteristics24.
