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
