. Students establish methodologies for recognizing minerals based on what theyhave learned. From this knowledge, they develop recovery processes motivated by points foreach mineral correctly collected, identified, and accounted for. This can be used as one form ofinsight into the curriculum’s influence on the team’s decision processes and also an indicator ofwhether student learning of science occurred through the use of the structured EDP [30], [32],[33]. The comparison and analysis of the three final days (11,12 and 13) of the curriculumagainst team dialogue is performed.Day 11 Target Group 1 and 2 After preprocessing the conversation for Target Group 1, the result was a 2,824 x20matrix. Target Group 2’s preprocessed conversation produced
student interest and attitudes [17]. Interest in engineering has also been shown toincrease with outreach [18]. Additional work has shown that students participating in anengineering camp were more likely than control students to take STEM courses in high school[19].STEM identity describes the extent to which an individual sees themselves as a “science person”,“math person”, etc. [20]. STEM identity has also been linked to youth enrolling inpost-secondary STEM education [21]. Fit or belonging is also believed to be a factor in gendergaps in STEM enrolment, where explanations based on abilities, interest, and self-efficacy fallshort [22].While we list a number of possible constructs above, it is unclear which one(s) (such as STEMidentity and self

students who took the survey were also satisfied with the program as indicatedby the 77% of survey respondents who agreed or strongly agreed that they would apply to be inthe ImageSTEAM program again. More than half of the students agreed or strongly agreed theywould recommend someone like them to attend the ImageSTEAM program (62%).AI workshops, in this paper, are viewed as problem-solving events using critical thinking toexplore ways and methods to improve learning using available tools. A comprehensive paperwill be made, when the third and final workshop is made in summer 2023. Lessons learned fromthe workshop experiences will be shared with the community.Acknowledgement: The authors thank the U. S. National Science Foundation for sponsoring
learn to see individualstructures or features, and to ask what function that structure or feature accomplishes and whythat is important to the organism. When students are practiced in this, they “learn to see theworld through new eyes” – the world around them is no longer part of the background of theirlives, but rather is now filled with potential solutions to challenging design problems [16].Curriculum BID specific ActivitiesSeveral standard lessons and activities were used for teaching engineering, brainstorming forideas, and as empathy building exercises for problem description.

diverse perspectives andfemale role models in STEM (Konowitz et al., 2022). Introducing students to the narratives andaccomplishments of women, minorities, and people from various cultural backgrounds canmotivate and empower underrepresented groups to pursue careers in STEM (Cheryan et al.,2015; Gilberth, 2015). Institutions, including K-12 and higher education, should develop moreinclusive and supportive environments for students interested in STEM. This involves offeringmentorship programs, networking opportunities, professional development for teachers, andresources suited to the needs of different student demographics. Such efforts align with Yeo etal.’s (2024) preliminary work that teachers use verbal and non-verbal cues to facilitate
, girls were found to draw male scientists three times more often than female scientists[31]. Similar trends were found in Capobianco et al.’s [23] study. About 40% of the engineersthat first grade girls drew were female and about 30% were male, but when examining thedrawings of fifth grade girls, just under 60% drew male engineers and about 30% drew femaleengineers. Given the age of the participants, previous research suggests it is likely that theywould draw male engineers.The study took place in the context of a Girl Scout troop environment. This may have influenced theparticipants’ conception of engineers for several reasons. First, the national Girl Scout organizationrecently began a significant focus on STEM opportunities within the

The five-daysummer camp consisted of hands-on activities, tours of different laboratories in ECE disciplines,and a group project that spanned the whole week where students built circuits using theSparkFun Inventor’s kit. During the group activity, the students were organized into eightgroups, and each group was mentored by an undergraduate mentor who facilitated thecollaborative hands-on activities. The middle school students completed validated and reliablepre and post-surveys adapted from the Student Attitudes Toward STEM (S-STEM) Survey andthe Group Work Skills Questionnaire Manual.
