In the third author’sexperience in running a regional S&E fair, schools with higher poverty rates and fewer schoolresources are less likely to hold school-level fairs at all. When these schools do hold fairs andsend students to the regional competition, the projects are noticeably lower in quality fromstudents who come from better

The main goal ofthe program was to provide young women and underrepresented minority high school studentswith a laboratory research experience and inspire them to enter college and pursue STEM degrees. Each summer, students from local high schools were selected to participate in laboratoryresearch as scholars under the supervision of a mentoring graduate student and faculty member.Each team composed of two YSs and their graduate mentor tackled problems innanomanufacturing and made significant contributions to ongoing research projects. At the endof the program, each high school student gave a final presentation of the results to

Engineering Education, 2019 Engineering Interest and Attitude Development In Out-of-School TimeAbstractSince its inclusion in the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS), engineering has continuedto emerge in classrooms and informal settings. As educators become familiar with this discipline,there is opportunity for research to inform our understanding of how youth are relating toengineering concepts and practices. This paper examines how engaging with engineering in out-of-school-time (OST) settings impacts youths’ interests and attitudes toward engineering. Dataare drawn from four OST sites that implemented a hands-on engineering curriculum with 52middle-school-aged youth. Quantitative analysis of

Additionally, for females with lower self-confidence, rolemodels who were both extremely attractive and highly competent academically were also notnecessarily the best exemplars due to their negative impact on females’ perceived self-worth –why should they even bother trying?

Pickering-Reyna [9] also showed thatstudents who participate in summer bridge programs are more likely to be retained in their major.Tomasko et al.
