provided a scholarship for those students toattend. The Philadelphia ACE (Architecture, Construction and Engineering) Mentor Program helpedidentify underrepresented students from the Philadelphia area and provided scholarships, along with thePenn State’s AE department to supplement those student’s attendance. The AE department also awardedinternal scholarships to underrepresented and economically disadvantaged participants as needed and fundspermitted. With advertising completed, registration opened at the beginning of February (before that summerthe camp was held). During the open registration process, a cap of 24 students was set to provide a balanceof anticipated camp workers, activities, and costs. Additionally, this size was deemed

the World Bank (2019) [1], the number of people without access to electricity suppliesdecreased from 1.2 billion in 2010 to 759 million in 2019. Electrification through decentralized solutionsbased on renewable Energy gained momentum. According to the same report, the number of peopleconnected to isolated mini electrical grids (called microgrids) doubled between 2010 and 2019, goingfrom 5 to 11 million people. However, there is still much to do. Through her presentation in TED talks,engineer Rose Mutiso (2019) [2] presents the problem and describes alternative solutions with theintroduction of sustainable electricity production (wind and solar) in the same communities.In Mexico, according to Energía Hoy (Servin, 2021) [3], there are more than

setting. Through thisquestioning, the specialists, which included representatives from the engineering, engineeringeducation, technology and engineering education, and teacher education communities, wereasked to identify, rate, and then verify core concepts and the corresponding sub-concepts deemedimportant for inclusion in a framework for engineering learning at the pre-college level. Morespecifically, the four rounds consisted of concept discovery, concept prioritization, conceptrating, and then concept verification/refinement. Lastly, a synthesis of relevant literature at thetime (i.e., Carr, Bennett, & Strobel, 2012; Custer & Erekson, 2008; Merrill, et al., 2009; NationalAcademy of Engineering, 2009; 2010; Sneider & Rosen, 2009

these outcomes. Research has shown that short programs are great for out-reach [11], while technical programs have been associated with increased student confidence [5].Extended programs with a more rigorous curriculum focus (for example, programs that are longerthan two weeks) can help with college readiness to some extent [12] but may suffer from limitedavailability [13] and can reflect broader social biases [14] that shape how students perceive and ac-cess these opportunities. In summary, it is well established that information barriers and systemicinequities of various types can hinder efficiency, participation, and success in STEM college edu-cation [15] and that pre-college programs can help address some of these gaps [5].
