) Scholarships in Science, Technology,Engineering and Mathematics (S-STEM) program. S-STEM aims to increase the inclusion ofgraduates from low-income backgrounds in the STEM workforce and/or STEM graduateprograms. We administered a Post-Graduation Plans Survey (PGPS) to all participants tounderstand their post-graduation intentions and the factors that influenced those intentions.To capture post-graduation intentions, we asked if they planned to enter the STEM workforce,STEM master’s or doctoral programs or other advanced degree programs within six months ofgraduating. Due to the small numbers of respondents in each category, we aggregated responsesof intentions to pursue careers in the STEM workforce, graduate degrees (STEM master’s,STEM doctoral), and

Engineering. At the beginning and endof the semester, students were invited to participate in the research study and given surveyswhere they identified their gender identity, race, and whether or not they identified asneurodivergent (ND). If the students answered either Yes or Maybe ND, they were given theoption to list which type(s) of ND they identified with. Within the course, 41 studentsparticipated in the pre and/or post-survey (91% responded; only 35 completed both surveys).Only the 7 teams where every participant consented to participate were examined in the research(out of a total of 11 teams).A key activity in the course designed to foster innovation skills was a 10-week long open-ended,team-based project to design an activity for K-12

The team performed logistic regression to determine how REPaffected the students’ likelihood of persevering, a binary outcome. Thus, it was a superior toolcompared to the linear counterpart alone. The dependent variable, semester-to-semesterretention, was coded in the binary format of 0 and 1, transforming the linear predictor into aprobability via the logistic curve—an S-shaped function [26].Key OutcomesThe following summarizes data collected by the survey responses from the REP Scholars duringthe fall (48) and spring (61) semesters of the 2023-2024 school year. All matriculated REPscholars took the survey, meaning the survey had a 100% response rate.As shown

Participants spoke about nothaving such camps available when they were in middle and high school, and how they wouldhave benefited from such programs.
